  Glorious floral bouquet, chai teas, blueberry fruit, incredible perfume. Fabulously showy / expressive with huge projection out of the glass. Amazing palate to match, aged fruit and completely silky and resolved. Actually still has power and intensity but is all integrated. Good fruit and acid still. Insane aromatics. Much better showing that I could have hoped for, very pleased indeed. 96+ Wound't wait much longer, have to imagine this is a peak showing.

  Absolutely perfect color. Ruby red with little to no bricking. Spices and minerals. Good clean fruit. Very good all around just maybe a tad thin vs the best bottles.

  Mature and resolved. Slightly drier than some bottles with a more contained nose.

  A fresh bottle, with dark red fruit at the core. Damp soil tones underneath. Full spice bouquet still needed more time to fully emerge.

  Less than perfect bottle. Smooth and cool red fruit, but did not have the vibrancy or the spice that this wine should have.
