Fresh with lots of fruit, herbal tones, some honey. Rich, good length, superb acidity. young, but drinking very well now.

Very youthful, light straw color. The wood has fully integrated and this is now a really lovely balance of lightness and richness. Lots of herbs on the nose; grapefruit peel attack and a long bitter-melon finish. I recall this being much heavier in its youth, but time has made it bright and lively. No hurry: this is delicious now but could certainly hold and possibly develop for years.

I wouldn’t guess 12 years of age. If I had to pick a difference, just barely showing a little bit of a brown mushroom and honey note. Otherwise, as exciting and young as the 2020 in a side-by-side. Outstanding.

PNP. This was really nice. Starting to open up and showing some grass on the nose, and on the palate very vibrant fruit, minerals, and a long finish. Certainly seems this will go on for many years but starting to get to a good place. A-
