Not nearly as good as years past. At first drink, it’s too sharp for my taste, but after aerating, it is quite rich. The cork has barely any depth in the wine stain - which tells me the fruit just isn’t as concentrated in this vintage... maybe they needed to make more cases

Tons of sediment... rich, and still kicks, but too much grit. Needed a better filter. Wish I could have drunk a few years earlier.

Big, bold, jammy, tons of fruit. Ultra dark. For a young wine, this drinks like a champ. Better than Faust of the same year.
