  Big plush dense rounded with nice length--a bit on the tart raspberry strawberry side with hints of tobacco and cedar

  A few days in Napa with fellow CT'r Cristal2000: I had been playing the Coravin game with this wine for a few months before finally opening the bottle tonight. It was a coiled-up beast with a super driven acid-tension thing going on that was ultra pura and chiseled, but did tread heavily on any true fruit expansion or expression. Once the cork was popped and the allowed to fully breathe, cherry and raspberry notes were injected with mineral-driven limestone notes, adding some breadth to the otherwise linear profile. Hours and hours of air gave it a daker profile (which I love), layering the fruit with some earth, currant, and black cherry flavors. Finishes with amazing persistence. Those of us not knocking on death’s door should probably hold these for 10-15 years. 95-96+ points.

  This could rival the heart-stopping 2018. The depth of color lets you know this is special. One whiff of its showy display of plums, flowers, truffle, chocolate, black cherries, and incense, and you are sold. But when you get to the velvet-textured, opulent palate, you are blown away by how this caresses your palate. Plush, lush, silky, velvet-drenched layers of fruit hit you in non-stop waves. When this wine matures, it is going to be one of the great vintages of Trotanoy, Fans of the estate, and Pomerol with the disposable income should be all of this gem. Wait a minimum of a decade, twice that if you can, and enjoy for 2-3 decades after that! Drink from 2030-2055.
