  Only opened up after 1 day and still holding strong after 2! M intensity fresh red and black fruits, hint of cola and ripe red fruits. Some oak. Balanced and perfumey (unlike when first opened when it was more alcoholic and harsh). More of the same on the palate, with some earth, mushrooms and tea leaves, yet there remains some harshness from the alcohol. Medium plus length finish. Definite Burgundian influence, and it comes damn close but sadly not there yet in complexity.

  Fantastic wine - purity and elegance from start to finish. Scent of red and black fruits, heady spice and violet. Just a touch mushroomy. Palate beautifully balanced: restrained, round fruit, acid and some grip on the end are all integrated. Power but no heat.

  Very special, especially given its youth. Incredible clarity of red and blue fruits on the nose and palate mixed with some briary secondary flavours. Real power and intensity in the mouth that makes one think there will be some heat on the finish but then it just slips down so seamlessly, leaving one utterly seduced during its long finish. Each glass brought a new facet to the experience with the last being the most enchanting. Will hold onto my other bottle for some time, partly because this will only get better given the mass of material and partly because I will be bereft at not being able to look forward to more of this nectar.

  Subtle and elegant. Builds nicely on the palate. Needs time. Nice.
