Red and black fruit, mainly cherries, pretty spicy with graphite notes, the saltiness of the limestone is well present, starts to have some tertiary notes, this bottle is impressive, fully in its drinking window.

Mostly the same impressions as with the last bottle some months ago. This one was more developed, with pronounced spices and herbs, some tertiary notes came up in the glass during the evening. The wine was fully ripe with a nice tension. I have 4 bottles remaining, which I will drink within the next months.

I really should have listened to myself when I wrote a couple of years ago that a good 5 years was probably needed. While this offered a pleasure with its purity and transcending profile, it still was very shy from offering a full blossom of its potential. Still very poised, still a profound depth, waiting to deliver, but sadly this was my 2nd of two bottles... must seek out in the market! Cheers.

Had two bottles yesterday evening, the first was slightly corked (not noted), the second was with ripe fruit, spices and herbs. Should be finished up.

Black cherries, strawberries, tannins, graphite, earthy notes, middle body, drinking well, but not yet at it’s apogee.
