Another half tonite from a different cellar, consistent w my note below. Wonderful with brined quail, pecan wood and char grilled w a tamarind glaze, where the tart and gamy flavors share a happy home in my mouth. No surprises, but these small bottles may be entering prime drinking next year, earlier than I thought.

From half bottle, w a one hour decant, after PNP sip demanded it. The very sexy nose is like a parfait of wet copper pennies and black cherry jello, w some pipe tobacco and baharat seasoning. Notes of black rum cake and lilac talc. It’s vibrant and evolving with no volatility or brett. Richly textured, silky tannins, great penetration, more of that black cherry tobacco flavor, a glycerine feel in the mouth, with brambly blackberries and tart red cherries. Finish is long, lean, and tight, a sign of youth. 6-8 years for these little guys to begin peaking. If the finish shows more then, this will easily be 95 pts. Lovely tonight w duck confit, dried cherries, and tabouleh.

very nice with bright fresh red fruit and some secondary (spices mostly) going on in the background... the primary flavors are in front and masking something else at this point... didn't (or maybe just couldn't at this young age) see 94 or 95 pt potential here, but I've been wrong about that before... I would definitely put any you have down for 10-15 years and then see what blooms from the bottle
