Really exciting nose with black cherries, leather and a note of perfume. Pure, nothing sticks out here like all great wines. At times almost like silk, before a medium finish kicks in with nice structure and dryness. Tasted at release where the impression was the same, although it has gained power and structure. Just wished for a little more of everything to be exceptional.
At Millenium Dinner in Santa Barbara at Bouchon. Wonderful aromatics, pallet, and flavors. Will do fine to hold for future. Not going anywhere quickly. 3 hour double decant, then tasted over one hour. Continued to open and be more expressive over the hour in the glass.

Sleek and pure. Very fresh. Really needed a few hours
Of air to get going and even then I felt like it was holding back

Very smooth and balanced with a great finish. Decanter for three hours in cellar before serving.
