Good+. Still manages good freshness. Light>medium straw, bright. Spice, herbs, soil, orchard fruits with some citrus notes as well. Medium-bodied with avg+ complexity and good+ length. I don't see it improving from here, but moreover, it's drinking really well so I'll be finishing my remaining bottles this year or next - even if it'll cellar longer. 13,0% abv. recommended
Consistent with previous bottles. As such, this continues to show its best after a few hours open. In fact, it had a slight edge vs its day one performance. Brilliant structure. Now, with air, or thru 2027. highly recommended+

I tried to reproduce the results I'd had with my first of the case, and wasn't quite as successful. That said, it was good>very good, but was clearly holding back that inner core of exotic floral and fruits (white/yellow), and haunting perfumes together with an amazingly vivid white/black/brown spice component that simply mesmerized in the first bottle, last week. Be sure to give it plenty of air. Plenty. This really comes to life it you let it properly stretch its legs. 13,0% abv. highly recommended+
