DG mid 2017 Very perfumed nose, violets, roses, lavender, vanilla, some noble oak and smoke, candied blackberries and lots of pastry. Very intense, vinous, corpulent. Very fine mouse. Delicate texture but incredibly rich and concentrated wine. Bottled women's perfume. 94pt

Generously rich and very, very ripe on the nose - I mean pastry-esque. The aromatics really explode from the glass. Quite toasty with attractive blood orange laden fruit. Unsurprisingly super rich and vinous on the palate with a very big and dense mousse. Despite its ridiculous concentration it is also quite spry and energetic due to what seems like a totally ridiculous acidity that became more and more prominent with time. To me this is more about the texture than anything else - by all means fairly young at this point but seems to have a lot of potential for further development. Perhaps a bit too much of stuffing for myself right now but I cannot really say that it's overdone in any way.

Dinner at Lazy Bear (Lazy Bear, SF): Delicious and distinctive. Not too crisp or foamy. Lots of complexity. Paired nicely with scallops and crab toast!

Drinking beautifully already,
Although some time will make this taste even better for sure.
