This is such an utterly brilliant wine. Just beyond. Nose is the most vivid olives and gorgeous blackberry fruit and granite infused love. 9.8 nose. Utterly captivating. Palate is rich and ripe but teeming with granitic energy. Unreal inner mouth olive aromas, and just insanely juicy and painfully concentrated. Unreal length and I only showing 10% of itself and we are at 9.8. I will be back. Wow. Unreal finesse now and length. There is a dark evil to this wine that adds to the overall vibe. Outrageous florals now an hour in. Really meaty element now as well. So supple and silky but firm structure, minerals and granite on the finish. Tannins getting more imposing but ripe and sweet. — 4 months ago

Really coming into its own. Gorgeous nose of grilled meats, black olive, green olive, dark herbs. Mashed dark flowers. So layered, complex and ethereal. 2014. can be so good. Elegant and so supple with terrific granite freshness and fine tannins. Gorgeous berry fruit persists on the extended finish. Fantastic energy and depth here but also not as big as the important vintages. This reminds of the best off vintage Bordeaux from great estates. Really love this. — 4 months ago

Been over a year and this wine is singing. Nose is so expressive with granite, camphor, herbs, meat, olives, blackberries and smoke. So complex and expressive. Palate is energetic and rich but so supple and juicy with tons of blackberry and darker red fruits. Superbly long finish that just builds and builds. Unreal freshness and suave texture. Just stunning and only just opened. The nose is super leathery after air. — 8 months ago

Lovely texture, richness without flab. Mineral nose, tropical fruit on the palate. The quenching freshness on the finish really takes this to the next level. Lovely. — 3 years ago
