Fuller nose than the 09 Stevens tried alongside, shows more fruit, not quite as austere, v slightly riper, but still super fresh and incredible length. Still has that lovely chalkiness and opened up beautifully and complemented green olives perfectly. Like the Stevens, will go as long as you like.

Fresh, grassy, lemon and lanolin, chalk. Delicate palate, superb balance, incredible length, almost tropical fruits, gentle sweetness, barley sugar. Opened up beautifully. Subtle, restrained, but very complex. Drinking beautifully, but will go forever under stelvin.

Deep, dense, impenetrable garnet color, looks young. Nose is soft and refined, but powerful. No over ripeness whatsoever, no discernable oak. Subtle leathery, earthy notes, blue fruiits, plum. Super intense palate, perfectly ripened fruit. Mouth filling, strong, fine tannins really keep it savory despite its power. The classic iron fist in velvet glove! Silky and sumptuous, but superb line and length. A special wine! Cruising, superb drinking right now, but should see out the 2030s easily.
