March 16, 2024 - Bold aroma, with notes of banana, lemon, wet stone, saline, and cloves. The palate is also bold, with cinnamon and buttery notes. Very long finish. Falls just short of 94. We’ll see what more time brings…

March 2, 2024 - Totally different than my last bottle - this one was way more oxidized and buttery and ripe.
Incredibly complex aroma of rich banana, vanilla and butter - smells just like bananas foster. Secondary notes of papaya, plantain, stone fruit and pineapple. Rich, dense, sweet tropical flavor with an herbal finish. Super concentrated with a long finish. Good structure.
This is a knockout wine but I’m backing this down to a 96 from my prior 98.5 people found this helpful Comment -
