91 Points

Friday, September 22, 2023 - Bricking development in colour.
Mint, pepper, orange in madeira scent bursting through on the nose. A finished glass captivating with honey, flower and bright orange fruit, so up there on intensity.
Palate continues developed, there is some fresh fruit to be had, but lets say a association like honey preserved orange dominating the palate. Punishing tannins at the end, and some wood in the aftertaste.
One non wino-friend had a taste at the first glass pnp, and said it was the driest wine he had encountered, starting to asking about wood and wine. Last bottle I opened two years ago I rememered as dry dry dry. Not shure if this will hit a pleasing balance with the fruit so developed and the tannins still firing so hard.

Day 2: Notes of marcipan, almond, orange liquer, aceton, really lively scents from the rim. Continues light and developed on on the palate, tannins are more integrated and finish is softer and shorter. A much more coherent experience. Up to 91 from 88.

A clear hold, my last two bottles is firmly tucked away for the next five years or so.
