Very spicy - cinnamon, clove, allspice, black pepper. Plum and maybe black cherry sitting behind it but the spice is very up front. There's a certain firm density to it but not unenjoyable. Decanted 1 hour.

Took an hour in the decanter to calm down. Some fruit, a touch of cigar bar spice. Grabbed the wrong year tbh but glad to have started the six pack. Does want another year in bottle but after some time it was nice with steak.

No formal note, this came across as too early to tap into this one, it has some of the primary characteristics of a good CdP but needs more development in the cellar, wait on this one for a couple of more years.

Very elegant for the vintage, minerals galore, cool style, good balance, no heat or unbalanced notes; fine indeed, better with age, of course ... but actually approachable #AB-student

happy to keep the rest in the cellar for a year or two, but was a nice wine for Christmas Day
