95 Points

Sunday, June 5, 2022 - Minimal sediment, color is dark purple. Out of the bottle the nose is a little bit of blackberry, forest floor, mushroom, perhaps a bit of smoke. Perfectly balanced, mild tannins: very long finish. Just keeps going and going... Very open right out of the bottle, initial impressions are that it will not need much time to be ready.

After 1.5 hours the wine is showing beautifully. It has an undeniable puissance, but the word that most describes it is "harmonious," with no note overshadowing the rest, and a lengthy finish.
