Opened another bottle 3 plus years after my last notes. And it’s still a total wow wine but in a softer space. Immediately inviting soft plush texture, a gravelly core of cherries and blueberries dragged over subterranean smoky leather. Damn! It’s good

I love this wine. It was tight and a bit pruney upon opening but with a few hours it’s blossomed into a bouquet of licorice tar black cherry olive and dark flowers. Elegant with a silky mouthfeel yet retains something grainy and rustic. In the zone but will get even better

Revisiting this epic wine that I wrote about 6 years ago. It’s sensational. Unfortunately this is the last of it and I would love to visit it with another 7 or 8 years under its belt. It’s still massive. Has the unmistakable mark of s great wine.
