January 15, 2022 - WOW, what a gigantic nose overflowing with super ripe raspberries and spice. Really smells like a framboise Lambic. This is full-bodied and rich with really ripe, but acidic raspberries, cranberries, sous bois and spice box!
Later, 2 1/2 hours in decanter: Mellowing and evolving, but still effusive! Extraordinary nose of the freshest, ripest, right off the vine raspberries, tree bark, compost, pine needles. The palate is reminiscent of a great Barolo, loads of baked black cherry fruit, mint, pine needles galore, pine forest floor and dried flowers. this wine is extraordinary. What a tour de force! This seems fully mature, but may very well be continuing to evolve. Drink now-2032 96
P.S. Every time I return to the glass, something new emerges. This is a wine of class. A distinct saltiness in the finish. I can't wait to see what this wine is waiting to reveal in the future.3 people found this helpful 3,438 views
