Will be extraordinary, this is a little too soon to drink, especially without any meaningful decant/air. Still really delicious. If drinking now, give it at least a 2-3 hour decant.

PnP, very floral with mainly violet, earthy, dark fruit. On the palate, slightly hot (14.7% abv is very apparent), very tannic, lively acidity. I would say it is probably still too young, so decant is a must. The tannin structure is very good. It drinks pretty well now but I believe it has a long way ahead and it will show more in 3-5 years. 92+

Drank over 2 days. Didn’t keep tasting notes. Suggest a 2-3 hour decant. Drinking well, but miles to go.

Intense balance, a show stopper. Incredible fruit and finish, a long life ahead. My 55th b-day opening, Tim was floored.

Great boquet, tastes of black cherry, cinnamon, and fig. Light acids, some tannins. Nice now.
