Nice cigar box nose. Palate is a hair thin, lacking depth of fruit, and finishes with rough, drying tannins. Pretty nice flavor, but not a re-buy for me.

Almost 2 years to the day since my last bottle. Pnp straight from the cellar. This is aging well and is in a beautiful spot now, with the nose having opened up and the palate no longer showing the effervescence that I recalled from before. This is an elegant, tasty wine, with complexity and a long finish. I recommend drinking this at cellar temp. This should easily last through 2034.

From a 375. Beautiful pronounced and complex nose; color darkening a bit from release; delicious palate with a long finish. Lovely wine.
