Friday, February 16, 2024 - This is now clearly mature and well into the beginning of its drinking window. This bottle was opened, sampled, and served hours later. It showed soft like a 10 year old Margaux with very beautiful allure. But the tell tale aromas of forest decay and black truffles took it away into what could have been a mature and perfuming Bordeaux from any great producer. I would not hold this for magic, because the underlying fruit was just not there. I looked at some other notes and was shocked to see others describe this as Jammy. I would say that this wine has finally fallen into its own balance. The black truffles reverberated all throughout the wine, followed with fresh tilled earth. Drink!
