This wine was a monolith. Open for a few hours, with steak, it showed awesome spiced cranberry jam notes. Tannins still quite noticeable, but overall structure is pretty integrated. I'd love to see this in 5 years, but wouldn't be surprised if it needs another 10!

Dirty sediment and globs of tartrate crystals fill my glass. The aroma can be smelled from a foot away. Menthol and overly ripe red berries with a beautiful flower bouquet. Overly ripe fruit made it a bit flabby but doable.

A bountiful nose of tobacco, menthol, clove, coriander and camphor, with stewed fruits and rhubarb hiding underneath. Decanted over two hours. Dirty tartrate crystals populate the bottle in huge amounts. The body is medium to full with shockingly graceful and integrated pomegranates, rhubarb, citrus peel, rose petals, eucalyptus, tar, dusty tannins, and a hint of kirsch. Refined and subtle mouthfeel with some grit and chalkiness. Elegant. Light on its feet but with bewitching depth and sophistication. Still around medium, medium-plus bodied. Shards of sediment are forming throughout the wine. A "wow" wine nonetheless.
