This had an excellent nose of tropical fruits , coconut was most evident. On the palate this wine was a bit austere/ steely , not bad just not the smooth creamy'ness I was expecting. I can't say anything other than hope for better next bottle in a few years , more air would likely have been beneficial this evening.Fine/Good.

Creamy lemon and ripe orchard fruits.. abundant use of oak here or at least very very obvious. Enough fruit though to carry all that makeup. 2018 vintage plastered all over. Not sure about cellaring potential though, acid seems to be lagging the fruit

Five months after the prior, and our fifth: Again quite rich and round, displaying a cornucopia of spices. Decent acidity keeps it lively — or at least prevents it from being flabby. Quite complex, and highly enjoyable.

Nine months after the prior: Once again, simultaneously creamy and rich, supported by lovely acid backbone. Excellent.

11 months after the prior: again, very rich, and again a cornucopia of flavors— but all beautifully in balance. Fabulous over three nights.
