Glorious old school nose of plum, red cherry that is ethereal, spices and has such a deep stoniness. Tree bark. Citrus rind. Chestnut. Palate is super concentrated, sappy and fresh. Wonderful cut and grip. Still needs to flesh out but boy will it In the next few hours. Velvety tannins and rocky/sweet fruit. Barely sweet. This is a burg that puts hair on your chest. The minerality is profound! Wow. What a showing. Can’t wait to see how this evolves. Finish is firggin’ epic. Almost 9.6. Likely will get there.

24 hours later it is there. Gorgeous purity. Unreal clarity and balance. 9.5 to 9.6.
