Nose: super parfume of dark cherries, candied red fruit, green herbs, slightly floral (think rose petals, almost oriental vibe) and slight smoke, but the depth is just insane, would wear it as a fragrance and it’s difficult to get the nose out of the glass.
Palette: same theme, slight sweetness on the back end, but by no means a sweet wine, however so nice and keeps you coming back for more, full on fruit but packaged so elegantly and sexy, great concentration, velvet mouthfeel with some grip, def more tannic than the generic burgundy, but so polished/smooth and balances the depth and acidity so well. Great structure should be amazing for years to come, but damn is so awesome now (and miles better vs when I tried it at release)

Great wine, nice red-fruits, a bit of smoke (reductive?) and liquorice and earth at the end.

Lovely, needs a bit of air to open up. Red fruits, mineral, and some Liquorice on the back end. Great bottle.
