Elegant, but lacking of the complexity of a wine of this pedigree. Complexity and overall palette voyage I expected just did not occur. Good acid & alcohol framework, but the execution of aroma and flavor disappointed. Usual bit of matchstick that was mitigated by several swirls in glass.
Oh and truly not a fan of the wax capsule. Such a toil to remove!

I wanted to try a bottle to see it’s development. Decanting with no visible sediment for anoint 30 min prior to tasting. Classic black fruits of cherry,blackberry,currant. Hints of cedar. No tertiary development quite yet, but you can almost feel it trying to poke through. Drinking well, but more time will benefit. Projecting 2-3 years to realize next stage.
