Pale garnet. Medium+ intensity. Blueberry, raspberry jam, vanilla, clove, cedar, mushroom, forest floor, dried fruit. A touch of nail polish remover possibly? High acidity, medium+ and soft tannins. Medium+ body and greater intensity on the palate. Long finish. Outstanding. Lack of identifiable primary aromas may suggest this should be drunk sooner than later?

Compared to when tasted 14 months ago it now seem much more full bodied. Still need ½-1 hour in the glass to open and for sure still just in the very approach to the optimal drinking window. Nice mouthfeel with fine acidity grip toward the end. Love it. 91-93+P

Closed nose (PnP) for the first ½ hour. Then some red berries and herbal notes. On the palate retaining on the fruit but a very nice balance of acidity. I feel that this will be a wonderful wine in 4 – 5 years from now. At this point 90-91P

Very primary nose, bright of red fruit and spices. Aromatically closed, well balanced palate, aromas shy. Having seen how complex this wine is when mature and how well stuffed structured this is, it will rival the great 2010. Drink after 20205. Lasted for more than a week in the fridge. Stayed fresh, added complexity, smokiness, earthy notes, licorice. Wonderful. 93-95

An elegant wine but a little to thin for my personal taste. Delicate and feminine, balanced acidity and soft red fruits. Nice enough and very enjoyable but I prefer more weight and minerality.
