Beautiful bright red fruit up front, rounding into a smooth core which then drops quickly into some nice funk, tart and low noted and stemmy with slight tannic chew on the very long finish. This would likely develop more complexity, but for me deliciousness is at peak right now.

That critical fact aside, I also love this wine. Gotta laugh at some of the previous notes that display the common ignorance of those unfamiliar with the genius of JP's craft. These wines demand time folks!!!! This has come together in an aboslutely profound way. Conerns that this would be too much of a bruiser (vintage) are wildly unfounded.

Really enjoyable, but not quite as spectacular as a couple prior bottles. This was slightly more closed.

I don't like reggae. I love it.

Consistent performance. Decanted. Still some lightly reductive notes of tar. Some large chunks of sediment.
