Wow. What a nose. So unique, so profound, so grassy, full of herbs, apothecary level. Stunning. It’s so dense and so complex that it’s dizzying. I’ve never ever smelled anything like this but where has this been all of life. Wow!! Genius. So layered, so floral, so perfumed. God’s apothecary. Beyond complex. Wow. Like the best fresh herbs one can imagine. Major rosemary. Wild mint. Sage. Just insanity. How does a wine smell like this? 9.8 nose. Wow! This is as Grand as it gets. Awesome, power, depth and concentration. Painfully young but so expansive. The palate really is similar to the nose. Herbal and apothecary like. Incredible inner mouth aromas. Huge depth. This needs so much air. It’s so sapid and so backwards. Finish is long and juicy and will fill out. My score will go much higher as that palate is a zygote.

9.5 to 9.6. Sizzling complexity and depth. Wow. Elegance has come on strong. Insanity.
