No detailed notes taken. This is an amazing wine drinking at its peak. Still so much primary fruit without any excess, just pure, fresh forest berries. Minerality, herbs, crushed rocks, and an intense wonderful and balancing tobacco and black truffles block. The tannins have melted but there is enough tension and freshness. Highly elegant, the wine is harmonious from start to finish.

No detailed notes taken - blue, violet, wild berries, then green pepper, paprika, earthy, vanilla, but all very precise! - Very fine and polished tannins on the palate, so smooth, soft. A little slutty but somhow a lot of fun to drink. The acidity and freshness could be a little higher. Certainly now at its peak an in a great drinking window. - 94 P

Drank from 375. Initially convinced that it was fully turned. But came back to it later in the evening after it was sitting in decanter for 2.5 hours and amazingly it still had life in it. Not spectacular like other bottles I’ve had, but everyone agrees it was still thoroughly enjoyable.
