Wow. One of those wines that renders you speechless for a time.
Even now, a day later, reading my notes is a thankless task. This wine is big and bold, but so much nuance. It unfurls in the glass like a forest of dark cherries and blackberries, but with mushrooms and forest floor, and cold slate. It tastes like a molecular gastronomy creation of cherry and raspberry, with the darkest chocolate and a dusting of dried mushroom powder. But it’s wine, such perfect, perfect wine.
It is perfectly balanced, utterly complex, and it has a long finish. It pains you to see the bottle empty. It’s a knockout of a wine.
It is going to last for a long time yet. It has all the alcohol, tannins, acidity and fruit concentration to go a long time yet.

Just drinking great for such a massive thing. Thought it was most aromatic right off the cork pull, and then continued to harden through a four hour drinking time. So probably should keep on holding and try another in two years.

不错,现代酒确实不需要醒很久。过一会气味就很好了,醒旧了,口中就差了。整体很好,最后一次完全不象Neb,但也可以。

Just a stunning fruit character on the nose. ANd still there on the palate.

On day five still holding strong with a Morello cherry character and tannic intensity. So, no rush.
