Beautifully spicy, floral and complex on the nose, with sour cherry and terrific aromatic breadth. Much better on day two, as the palate has become silkier and sweeter, with tremendous juiciness, energy and gorgeous texture; still very high acid, but now far more integrated and balanced, with real finesse and length.
9.5 to 9.6 overnight, and really this just needed 24-plus hours to fully open. The palate is now decadent, supple, sweet and intensely sappy, with remarkable richness, gorgeous texture and unbelievably ripe, high-quality tannins; deep spice and florals complete a wine that is Grand Cru in everything but name.
