The time as come for me to pop that!! The nose was incredible and so complexe, from start to finish. Decanted for 3 hours then drank over a period of 3 hours. Amazing but I feel like i did not enjoy thetaste as much as I enjoyed the aroma from the nose. Poor cellar conditions.... still a great bottle, but in my mind this bottle is ready to go now

Was expecting a little more here. Nice earthy mushroom and cherry nose. Really promising. The palate was fairly one dimensional but enjoyable with tart cherry and strawberry the dominant flavors. Finishes short but with firm acidity. May be worth waiting to see if it evolves.

A bit of blackpeppercorns on the nose , really like bah kut teh. Underbrush dark Cherry fruits. Delicious with some creme cherry liquer. Super balanced and with depth of fruit. Well balanced with fresh minerality.

Cherry nose of birchy leafiness, stone dust, peppery spice and animality. Medium bodied with drying tannins, refreshing acidity and balanced fruit. Densely structured. Nice meaty notes, liquorice. lifting herbaceousness and even a touch of barnyard. Oak and raspberry pips in the lengthy aftertaste. Very nice stuff.

Knightsbridge Annual Holiday Burgundy/Champagne Tasting and Sale (Northbrook, IL): Tasting, brief note. Roasted meat and mushroom are center stage here with firm, powerful black fruit. Hold for a few more years.
