Nose is very dense, saturated and very 15. Dark morello cherries. Good mineral undercurrent. Palate is rich, saturated and super fruity. Juicy and crunchy with dark cherry fruit. Explosive and finishes mineral. Very good.

So young. So dumb (me or the wine?) but so good. Stanky nose. Flowers, roses, big cherry fruit. Like lipstick. Dead leaves after a fresh rain. Super aromatic after 15 minutes needed to get rid of the funk. Sweet sweet fruit. So unctuous and sappy. Almost embryonic. Balanced, pure and fresh. So complex but needs 5-7 years.

On open ....Glorious 2015 fruit. Black cherries. Spice. Maybe a kiss of licorice. Long sweet finish. Super tasty but not super complex at this point. Integrated tanins. Crazy silky on the palate. ... after an hour there Are sick flowers peeking out from under the covers. Candied lilacs ? Palate getting sick and more complex. Like this concentrated licorice flower on the finish Odd because it doesnt present as tannic or woody like most wines that are too young. ... 2.5 hours in this is much more serious. Like a brooding teenager a bit. More young and correct cherries. More apparent structure. Tanins are more present. Bizarre. Almost like a Benjamin button wine a bit.
