  Remarkable spice-perfumed nose leaps from the glass at first pour. (This from a a guy who is all about the palate usually, not the nose).
  
  Initially reticent, tasting of underbrush, briar, soil and stems. Bit of coconut(?).
  With airtime and warming, dark fruit peeks out, balancing and welcoming another sip, and another after that.
  
  Give it time to warm up and wake up and be rewarded. Great stuff-it makes me want to try this from a riper vintage.

  Gorgeous stemmy nose. Still some tannins on the palate but you can tell the elegance and balance is there. Very nice

  This was outstanding tonight. Nose was absolutely fire, and admittedly a bit better than the palate. Full of blood orange, strawberries, earth and myriad of spices, it’s such a pleasure to just nose this. Palate was elegant, it didn’t carry the weight promised on the nose, but nevertheless very fine and nuanced. Finished the bottle in no time.

  Fantastic on pop and pour. The nose started out with menthol and medicinal herbs on the first pour which quickly transitioned to intense perfume of violets, Asian spices - 5-spice, hoisin, aniseed. On the palate, surprisingly generous amplitude of fruit given the vintage - black plum, baked cherry, fig, red licorice, of course beautifully balanced. This is drinking really well now, given the vintage I'm not sure I would hang on to this much longer.

  Nice nose with red fruit notes, cherries, a hint of black tea, violets, and spices. Good acidity with nice intensity, tart fruit flavors, wild berries, and underwood on the palate. Nice finish. A lovely wine that could benefit from a bit more time to fully express itself and add complexity. 93+
