  12/23/2023 - brooklynguy Likes this wine:

  Pulled the cork and poured a taste at 5 - lovely aromatics already so left it alone til we got into it a little after 7. Nose is elegant with layers of dark fruit, all of which is permeated by a saline savory minerality. Nothing showy, nothing super pungent, nothing sticks out, the wine is balanced and is best for its elegance silky texture, and harmony. It's hard to name specific flavors or aromas with this wine, as happens when the balance and harmony is like this. Paired beautifully with pork loin, bitter greens and polenta. Not the most detailed articulation, and those looking for fireworks will be disappointed. But this is such an elegant wine, and still has lush 05 fruit. I bet it improves for another 5 plus year, too.

  This is really holding up well. Nose reflects allspice and beautiful fruit with quite a lot of cherries. Dense and fruit forward on the palate. Very enjoyable.

  Clearly more developed than the bottle I had opened 2 years ago. Still very structured, but the tannins are quite soft and the dark fruit really shines through.

  From half bottle. Popped and poured
  Dark fruit (cherry, blackberries), earth, spice, minerality, a little reserved. Agree with below - fruit a bit secondary now and structure dominates. Good potential. Still enjoyable now. Good finish. 91+
