Pop, 2 hrs slow ox. First btl in about 5 years. Don't know how I managed to keep my hands off. On the nose: the usual reduction at first, cola, candied strawberry, smoke, spice, mushroomy funk, wow. On the palate: fantastic acidity and density, wild strawberry, white pepper, cinnamon, clove, and very soft velvety tannin on the juicy and spicy finish. Fascinating evolution: stunning again, but completely different to how I remember it!

Lovely bottle, ripe dark berry fruits, classic salumi and forest floor notes, floral and just a hint of mushroom. The palate is very well balanced with very good depth. Long finish with a sanguine hint. Delicious and with many years ahead.

Delicious, still young, but gaining a lot of complexity versus a couple years ago. So fresh, alive and exuding red fruits, earth and herbs.

Lots going on here. Juicy, earthy, smoky and spicy. Very nice, with years to go.

Great stuff, but too young; needs 5-10 years.
