August 19, 2022 - Soft and spicy nose. Quite elegant palate. Mature but not fading bottle.

June 12, 2022 - Tasted blind, this wine had a medium deep red center with light orang/tan rims. The medium+ intensity nose put forth sour cherries, cola, minerals, plum, and anise.
This got better and better with air and was the best at the end of the night despite being open 7 hours. It was ripe and rich with great acidity and length. The complexity kept building in the glass.
This bottle was certainly in its prime, especially after extended decanting. It will last 10 years if well stored. -

September 29, 2021 - This bottle was just beginning to fade. A couple of notches short of what this can still be.

June 4, 2021 - This wine is sheer perfection. It so seamlessly integrates fruit, structure and aromatics that it is difficult to disentangle. The color profile is bright, luminescent and alive with no turbidity. The red forest fruit bursts from the glass with rose petals and peony floral notes, exotic spice and tea leaves add tonality with a seductive soft licorice base note. The mouthfeel is precise with fresh tannic grip yet simultaneously unctuous - likewise the long finish has a crisp acidic high. There is plenty of complexity and muscularity yet it is weightless and crystalline - in fact its aromatics simply levitate and burst from the glass. This wine has plenty of life left in it but is at such an apogee that it should be savored.
