100 Points

Friday, February 23, 2024 - Amazing. Nose was slightly less powerful than my last bottle but traded off a tiny bit of power for broad all-encompassing finesse. And the palate... ultra focused finesse (and acidity) with amazing palate-filling fruit, and a backing of caramel. Still at the start of its life. With a couple hours of air, spice and amaretto adding to the bouquet. Added a chemical note to the nose -- petrol like a riesling with another twist I can't pinpoint (but is enticing). Cotton candy finish.

Spectacular yet again. Easily 100 points.
