Absolutely epic bottle. Everything that is kind and lithe and smart and detailed and reticulated. Basalmic and licorice and truffle and moss. Tremendous sweetness on the palate. Decanted five hours @mareanyc. Really beyond points

: Lithe. Sinewy. Delicate. Crystalline. Cherry cinnamon nutmeg and clove. Spectacular. Rare for a wine to elevate beyond tasty to special. Nothing like chateaunef of syrupy 100 point land.
A thoughtful wine. Best in a very long time

Tremendous wine. Fruit dripping off a steel skeleton. The terroir trumps the vintage. Anise, honey. Acacia. Chalk. Too young otoh but alive otoh. Improving thoroughout. Great bones for the future
