95 Points

Monday, October 19, 2020 - This was just lovely today. The nose was wonderful - graphite and earth and smoke curling around a core of sweet dark berry and cherry fruit, and then lifted notes of rosemary and spice and wild herbs filling the bouquet. Lovely stuff. The palate was absolutely yummy - just layer after warm layer of dark plums and cherries beautifully infused with a lovely mouthful of dark spices and dried earth, graphite and minerality, all this wreathed with a ring of tobacco smoke drifting into a euros it HKG grippy finish, with just a kiss of tannins adding a chewy length to the wine. Oh my, this was such a lovely wine, drinking right about peak after a couple of hours in an opened bottle. Wonderful.
