My last of four bottles, and my only regret is that I didn't buy more. Pure, precise, layered dark fruits, good intensity, freshness, and length. Plus some crystallinity. Cellared since original release.

Ooof! Less than a year after a superb bottle, this one shows plenty of fruit but much less precision and is lacking in crispness. A shutdown phase or the beginning of the collapse of 2018s?

Wonderful bright red fruits with a crsip palate. There’s some suppleness to the palate after the initial attack and it finish clean with a stony character. If I’m being nitpicky, lacks depth on the finish. I’m quite how fresh and focused this is despite being an ‘18 (with red fruits!)

It's hard to imagine this wine ever getting much better than it is tonight. Pure crystalline cassis fruit in a medium-light body with a silk texture and very good length. Cellared since original release.

This is now shut down tight and not much joy to drink. Give it time.
