  Still young but oh so good!! There are nuances of perfection in this wine and I just want to imagine what it would be like in 4/5 years. Clearly above his pay grade and a non brainer to every cellar. TRB apprentice...

  Opened and into a wide body decanter. Brambly fruit floral on the nose. A dark extracted beauty. Times below are after open.
  
  2:30 - mocha, coffee, eucalyptus, red berry, hint of violets, distracting sweet note on the finish. Tannins are there but not intrusive 88 pts
  3:15 - The distracting sweet note is gone, the nose is coffee and scorched embers, but the palate has gone somewhat muted with minimal purple and faint red berry fruit, tannins have receded significantly. 88 pts
  4:15 - Coffee notes have resolved, candied fruit nose, hint of perfume, rose, faint burnt embers, cherries evolving on the palate complimenting red berry fruits 92 pts with 94-95 potential
  
  Took a flyer as this was a Beserkerday X purchase and definitely a great find and a good buy. Will be buying the 2016.
