The last bottle probably had diff notes because of my glass issues (get a cloth and good low-residue detergent and warm water people!)
Strong aromas of violets, wet slate/limestone, plums on the nose. These notes also are in the mouth, although the finish is basically earthy and mineral. In your face and powerful.
I felt the fruit still could reveal itself more with age...let's say 1-2 years. Balanced, supple, chewy right bank red.

Creamy dark fruits and plum. Sweet spice, glossy tannins, low-med acid. Very merlot-driven. A lot of sediment. Manages to still be quite fresh. Some tertiary notes (truffle)
this is a deep delicious wine starting from a 2 hour decant to 24 hours. First opened 2/23/24 and while young was still far above expectations. Would suggest with tomato based dishes and rich middle eastern cuisine. Cellar the remaining bottles through 2030.

Floral on the nose (violet, jasmine), with espresso and oriental spices in the background. Sweet attack on the palate with black cherry and Victoria plum while excellent acidity and oaky tannins provide structure. First, the oak takes up a little too much space, but it soon integrates nicely. No trace of heat from the alcohol. Drink 2030 - 2040.
