  Decanted 1+ hour & served in Burgundy glasses. Spectacular cuvee, beautiful & complex nose. Dark forest earth, espresso, mocha, violets, cured meats, mezcal... this gives endlessly. Poised & powerful palate.. dark berries & savory acids. Mid-palate could use another 4-6 years development but there's no doubt where this is going... could easily merit a 98 rating in time.

  Very impressed. Took some time to open up and continued to evolve over 2,5 hours. Tasted much younger than the vintage would suggest. Very fruity and structured, with juicy acids. Plums, cherries, graphite. Would keep this another 5 years easily.

  PnP and drank over 4 hours. Simple at first, but continued to develop and best at 4th hour. Drinking well now, but if I had another bottle, I would revisit in a couple years.
