  14 yrs old vintage at this point. Opened 4+ hrs before dinner, decanted 2 hrs before dinner. At start of dinner, it was perfect, smooth, with dark red and prune fruit, earth, mineral, balanced with medium acidity and wonderful elegant chalky dusty tannins. After 2 more hours, the fruit continued to emerge, to add a lustful element.

  PnP, consumed over three nights. This took a couple of hours to really open up, then held straight and steady through the three days it was open, so clearly lots of life ahead, with plenty of room to continue to improve, which is saying something, as it’s already really, really good. My first of four bottles, wishing I had more cellared.

  PNP in a hotel restaurant, then followed back up in the room for another 2 hours. This is SUCH a savory wine! So much easier to pick out the anise, spice, stones, florals, meat/leather, and kelp than to decide which fruits are hiding in there. Yeah, there's cherry, raspberry and plum notes raising their hands for attention. And the texture is great, and the length is, well, long...
  The structure is there, mid life, now-2035.

  Wow, this opens up with a nose of stones, flowers, earth, dark cherry fruit. Beautiful, understated palate with marks of cherries, stone, lavender and thyme, liquid spices from Provence in a glass. Complete wine, balance and harmony, grand vin indeed. First bottle from a case of twelve. Chez Finn and Pernille.
