Wow! This is in a perfect place, absolutely singing right out of the bottle. Dark cherries. Significant improvement over the last 3 years. Glad I held it. Amazing qpr at $35.

Fantastic from the moment the bottle was opened: Exuberant flowers, spicy plums, and peppermint, with hints of tangerine, allspice, cinnamon, tea, earth, and smoke, all followed by an expansive and amazingly long aftertaste with a touch of milk chocolate at the very very end--this requires patience, but is worth it. No hurry at all, but there's also no reason at all to wait. [Tasted over almost two hours from both the Jancis Robinson glass and the Conterno glass. Slightly better to my taste from the Jancis Robinson glass, which gave greater detail, more energy, and a longer aftertaste--the Conterno glass gave greater richness and an earthier character. Also briefly tasted from the (apparently discontinued?) Riedel Vinum XL Pinot Noir glass, which made the wine feel a bit too heavy. There was no major change in the wine over time. The description and score reflect the Jancis Robinson glass.]

Remembered it having more depth and vibrancy. Others sure enjoyed it though

Really attractive red fruit aromatics. Delicious red fruit flavors, mouth coating texture. Wish I had more.
