  • Decanted 90 minutes. Deep & intense with little signs of age on rim. Complex, slightly tight nose - deep intense black fruits, black cherries, fresh herbs/thyme, aniseed with a dark chocolate depth. Palate is massive - tons of deep intense rich blackcurrants, plenty of integrated tannins and fresh acidity - well balanced. Lots of aniseed, herbs - a real grip and persistence on the palate. Sensational wine. Decades of life left ahead. Drink 2028-45+.

  • A disappointment, and I hope it’s just this bottle or that it needs more age.
    Day 1: Little to no nose upon opening. Very dark fruit almost too austere, but overall quite smooth. It had a decent tannic structure and a little drying yet not so profound that gives you confidence that it would have decades to go.
    Day 2: Slightly opened up but still the nose was reticent. While it exuded a little more elegance the finish is a short and became a bit tart with air.
    Would give it around 88

  • Second time trying this within the span of a few months. What an absolute monster of a wine. Same impressions as last time. This wine needs at least 8-10 more years. Already showing beautifully now but there is so much more for the patient one.

  • Well this was a 92-100 experience. Started life at the lower end as the last bottle in 2022 didn’t need much air so it was only a 30 min decant, tasted good but not offering much, not even a look under the hood.
    Progressively improved until an absolute 100 point peak at the 2 hour mark when it became liquid silk, thick wild delicious, that moment of perfect balance when you get lost in the stars.

  • This was damn good. Dark fruits, leather, earth, cedar, etc. etc.
    It opened up nicely in the bottle over the course of 4-5 hours. I would say that it is very approachable now but with big upside.
    Thank you to Diego for sharing this bottle.
