Incredible wine. The nose is incredibly complex and alluring. On the palate, this stuns you with its youth. Light on its feet and full of acid to balance the robustness of this old wine. Truly something very, very special.

Consumed over three weeks. A blunter and lower acid bottle versus almost all prior, not sure why. Great depth and breadth of flavor, but without the same cut.

Beautiful acidity with bitter orange and pecan tones with dry soil underneath. High acid and dry but still young enough to have the balancing sweetness required for sercial.

Long finish. Less focused acid and more sweetness on the finish than other examples. Consumed over three weeks. 93-94

Consistent with prior notes. Although this bottle (consumed over three days) showed darker and with less acid than priors. 94+
