A lovely showing of this with some homemade whole duck. Definitely needed some air but came around fairly quickly and showed some lovely light sweetness.

Almost as good as my last bottle, but a bit less floral and intoxicating on the nose. Balancing out nicely. Will probably check in on one every year or two.

Absolutely intoxicating nose. Still a little on the young side but very approachable now. I'm always partial to VV wines and this was no exception. Dense and rich but still light on it's feet. There is upside here. 94 nose. 92 palate.

Expressive aromatics with lots of spice, toasted herb and earthen accents in rich black cherry. Palate has nice concentration with old vine intensity coming through. This has just a bit of an angular structural edge that needs to soften, but close to a peak window that should hold for 5-10 years.

Estupendo equilibrio entre fruts y especias con un sutil toque de madera. Perfecto ahora, pero se puede guardar.
