  I found the wine to be rather subdued. It got better with time in the glass. If you drink now I suggest giving a good decant.
  Next bottle in five years

  Tasting lunch. First time I tried this and I was impressed. Reminded me of Heitz and Ridge, Lots of cassis and eucalyptus, ripeness here is in check with great freshness. I think this can add a point with more maturity. Best after 2028.

  Three-plus hour decant. Dense dark garnet color, full to the edge and bright. Expressive bouquet of red currant & cassis, eucalyptus, star anise, new cedar, clove and pipe tobacco. Sumptuous and mouthfilling on the attack, with cool-toned black fruit, vivid & intense, with integrated secondary notes of fresh violets, melted stone, and the cedar and five notes from the bouquet. Round and expansive across the middle palate, with firm core density yet totally refined and airy at the same time. Layered and seamless, terrific acid balance giving the wine a nice energy, along with broad plush tannins and long zesty black fruit through the finish. Classic profile with terrific verve on top of depth and richness for days, primary with integrated secondary depth and early resolved tannins. In short this has plenty of youth, but the youthful intensity is palpable and it’s in a great place for sure. Wonderful. Drink/hold.

  Very dark berried with some vanilla in the background. Nice fresh acidity. Good concentration. Just at the start of its drinking window, at least 10 good years ahead. (IG)
