Welp, I got one of the odd bottles. Nose is quite pretty and palate starts exactly as I'd hope, soft tannins, great mouthfeel, lovely fruit. About 10 seconds after drinking, there's a rising bitter aftertaste that's not enjoyable at all. Kind of a cross between Swiss chard and some sort of medicinal note. Not recommended.

Quick decant. Floral, high toned nose, quite giving. Palate has present but manageable tannin, good concentration and length. A little oak sticks out on day one. Really enjoyed this but will hold the other bottle for five years.

Loved this. Immediately expressive, perfectly balanced. Lots of earth the compliment the fruit. Not quite as focused day two but still a knockout.
