I adore this wine. A weakness of mine. It need so much time. Nose is gorgeous. Mint. Ripe and floral. Berry fruit. So dense. So layered. So precise. But deep. Really impressive. Palate is so damn impressive. Smokey and pure with ripe and elegant tannins. Awesome. Best bottle by far of this 2012. Has really come into its own. Concentrated and so elegant with terrific structure. Sweet and granitic fruit. Awesome purity. Really great wine. Fresh and ridiculously energetic. Incredible harmony here. So long. You gotta really really wait on these for them to show well. Worth the wait.

Jul 17th, 2020Hoo-boy ripe off the bat. But soon calms down into a lovely melange of blackberry coulis, lavender, raspberry, graphite, lead, granite, mineral. Powerful and distinct aromas. The palate is deep and enormously sweet with lovely depth, purity and super focused. Amazing freshness. Really just a baby. But this is the best bottle I’ve had of this. Smokey, bacon and flowers and fruit is a great combo. For such a big boy it sure is fresh and delicates. 33/33/33 GSM essentially.
