January 28, 2024 - Last and best of a number of my DMs. Needs a solid decant and opens up nicely. Well in the drinking window, but plenty of runway. Some sediment. Just fantastic.

December 26, 2023 - Bilberry and blackberry, silky soft. The intensity of the fruit is a bit less than in 2017 but still deep and pure. It is super smooth, almost creamy now after 15 years. Still very good, but may not improve anymore from here I'd guess.

September 24, 2022 - Sweet and pure, simply beautiful. Incredibly well balanced, with sweet ripe black plum, red licorice, minerals and a long finish.
