Slow oxed for 6 hours and tasted blind next to 14 LT. Incredible stem, floral, perfume aromatics that were truly kaleidoscopic and ethereal. Thorny palate which will require further cellaring, but mouth-coating tension and charming austerity were sensational. This wine blossomed like the primavera under Botticelli's artistry, and would no doubt defy Giorgio Vasari’s categorization. 1291/7888.

Slow oxed for 6 hours and tasted blind next to 14 RC. Intoxicating DRC stem with lingering sweetness, but rather elusive. Arguably sexier than the RC, but much less psychedelic. Better showing than the last tasting in Jan. 2226/23158.

Matchstick reduction with alluring cheesy aromatics, 11 linearity, and shocking concentration. Jolly delightful.
