Drank at an event, no formal notes. My first Diamond Creed experience and I can now appreciate the hype and understand the reputation. Still a baby but starting to come into its own with delineated structure and flavors. Quite refined for the region, and layered with complexity.

"A blend of the 3 vineyards made only in certain vintages. Coravin’d.
The NOSE!!! Oh my god. Blackberry bramble, layers of fruit, some cherry pie notes but not overdone at all. Some serious rocks and minerals underneath. Just wow. Palate is so elegant and light. Lots of lighter red fruit with some dark fruit intermingled. Lots of beautiful crushed rocks, think river rocks. Finish comes with beautiful purple fruit, flowers, rocky, and then with time the finish turns more secondary/tertiary. Think dried tobacco, cigar box. 97. So much life left, easily 10 years. Fruit is still quite primary but is so delicious right now. "

What a great wine, currants, cherries, raspberries just jump out of the glass. Finish is long and smooth with some herbs and earth underneath.

Double decanted the night before - was singing for birthday dinner. Dark red fruit, impeccable balance, very well done.
