Eh - didn’t really love this. From perfect provenance, this was lactic/cheesie on the nose, missing tension and balance - just very generic and not much of anything. Let’s see if the next bottle or a decant helps get something going for this one.

Opens up awkward but after 15 minutes it balances out. Rich, oak filled, good acids and nice finish. Strong minerality, apples, pears and other stone fruit dominate. Just starting to show its age with hints creme brûlée and nuttiness.

At first, oak was not well integrated (bottle was too warm too warm too -- cooled down). After 30 minutes oak better integrated, minerals and vanilla, not great length but pretty, not much complexity. Too young/primary at this point, hard to judge, but I'd guess that it will improve in 5 years.

Fresuh, rich and minerally nose - good ripe melon and pear fruits; lovely palate entry, vibrant acidity, quite concentrated and rich. Almost has a grip which coats the palate. Very well made. 90-92+
