Lot n.1117. Quite ripe and on the oxidative side I thought it was premoxed, with air showing more clarity, but that 14% alcohol always reminds one of its largeness. Savory, lime leaf, vanilla, cardamom, exotic, sesame, peach, orange, plum, mineral. Stunning array of aromas very clearly expressed, with very good length and extra richness. 93-94

Second bottle opened was thank god not Premoxed like the first.
This has improved a bit since last tasted in late 2020. Very elegant pear and floral energy, with some warm richness that is framed by great acidity and structure. Some pleasant woodiness. Saving last bottle for 2026 or 7

- Yellow gold color. It's balanced with a medium/full body. Fleshy texture with a long finish - Excellent really, a lot of extracts on the palate, dense and tense, the oak is present but in an elegant way and complements the wine. Long, youthful.

Premoxed! Shocked. 2017 with such praise. Must have been a bad bottle.
