Wow has age done wonders for this. Stunning nose or wet earth, spice, green apples, some iodine. Really complex. Palate it ripe and rich with terrific minerality and wonderful purity and freshness. Almost a chewy density. Long finish. Perfectly integrated oak. Electric acids and mouthwatering finish. This is profound.

Double decant, as Dr. Fass prescribes air for the wines of this producer. Well, whatever the alchemy, this is a class bottle of wine. So refined and bursting with all kinds of goodness.

Aromas of wood freshly cut via table or circular saw, caramelized sugar and radial tire - things were looking up. Initial glass was a bit short, which I must say was disappointing after such an auspicious beginning. After a bit of time, she broadened out into an elegant, almost weightless drink. So delicate and pleasant.

Rocking. Soars past the '12 in quality. Stunning. Dense, long and opulent. Needs 45 minutes.
