94 Points

Saturday, May 1, 2021 - Nose > So rich, lush, exotic & sexy.
A mostly black/blue fruit profile with tremendous richness, excellent freshness; mineral infused.
Blackberry, cassis, blueberry, violet, lavender & gorgeous, creamy, sweet, slightly smoky oak.
Palate > Big, expansive, ripe, rich, taut & tight.
The mountain of rich, dark, lush, fresh fruit starts to tighten up by mid-palate, & adds rich/ripe/slightly grippy grape tannins, & creamy, round, slightly smoky oak tannins.
Great intensity, balance, depth, length. Excellent acidity.
God Damn this is so fun, exciting & satisfying to taste already.
This got an 8+ hour Slow-Ox.
(94+)
