Wow this is singing. Stunningly deep floral/cherry nose. Mid season cherries that are perfectly ripe and juicy and so clear. Unreal spice and tweed jacket as well. 9.5 nose. Blown away. This drinks so well with 5-6 years on it. Palate is just heaven. Juicy and so decadent with good weight and luscious black cherry and late season red cherry fruit. Sapid and deep. Mineral finish. Outstanding showing. Unreal balance and freshness. It’s a 9.5 right now. Tannins need to smooth out so maybe even a 9.6 with air.

Sep 5th, 2023Superb nose. Mid to late season cherries, spice, loads of earth, deep and well fruited. So appealing. Palate is lovely. Elegant, nimble and racy with loads of cherry fruit with great intensity but remains lithe and elegant. Precise and balanced. Beautiful. Pure. Classic. Ripe, juicy tannins and such succulence on the mid palate and the finish.
