Massive. Lots of structure. Tannins a go-go. Cranberry and cherry on the nose. Some fruit on the palate. Wine clearly has much more runway. See you again in 5-7 yrs.

delicious - very precise. no oxidation, just very pleasant. lots of minerality - less fruit. soft mouthfeel and somewhat acidic. notes taken after a few hours, but would recommend opening this now if you have a few bottles. not in a bad spot.

My rating score is arbitrary- pls ignore it. It means nothing. I had tried this wine a few years ago and found it all backwards and messed up. On a lark, i opened a bottle this evening (PnP) and found it delicious. Stony fruit. Good minerality. A reminder that a little bottle age can really make a difference. Look forward to trying my remaining bottles over the next decade. Enjoy
