Green aromas to start: mint, field herbs and black pepper and, as this blossoms, violets, black currants and moss emerge. Concentrated, silky palate. Great, but seems like this is still a baby. Expecting it to gain a lot with age.

Wow. What a nose. Smokey and super leathery. Age has done a number on this. Black cherry fruit, blackberry fruit, amazing purity and cleanliness to the aromas. Palate is so refined and juicy with amazing purity and soft, supple tannins. Elegant with impressive fruit concentration, with a small berry fruit intensity but also slathered with minerals and rocks. So fresh and energetic and everything is so well integrated. Utterly divine. Age only makes these so much better. What length and a perfectly dissipating finish.

Rich, elegant and loads of dark fruits. Wonderful nose with coffee, forest floor and cassis. Layers of flavor. Nice long finish. Really enjoying this wine!
