93 Points

Tuesday, February 6, 2024 - Opened but did not decant. Was generally accessible in 20 min but will decant next time, as this is still tightly wound overall. Murky purple color with a ruby hue. Floral nose brings spicy anise, blueberry compote, purple lavender, clove cigarettes, and diesel petrol. The palate is medium, compact, and hard, bringing a core of blackberries, blueberries, and chocolate raspberries mixed with wild game and crushed rock. The finish is hard and tannic, so best with food. This is refined and polished yet still primary and hard and will be best 2026-2036. Technical score: 93. Enjoyment score: 93.
