Similar to last bottle this really needs air to come around. A bit lean out of the gate but with 2/3 hours open it fleshes out and more. White flowers, brown sugar spice, golden fruit, stones, and excellent depth. Fireworks in a glass with very strong presence and length.

No one does it better. Open up front. Deep and dark in the back. Huge sweet bramble fruit- cassis, leather, meat, olive. Tannins are there, certainly young but not a wall. Consistent with a maker that is always expressive, always a wine of character. A beast in the making. Recommend 2/3 hour decant.

Greener than other vintages but still a pleasure. These always have character.
