Finally lost my Heitz MV virginity. One word, wow. The mint-eucalyptus was there on the nose. A very powerful wine that smelled powerful and tasted powerful. Besides the mint , hints of earth & cigar notes but clearly in the background. I was having a hard time trying to grasp how youthful and balanced the wine was on the palate. I found the fruit was on the darker side with lingering tannins. I left this in the decanter for three days. The nose really never diminished, the palate grudgingly. If I had to nitpick I felt it was lacking some of the complexity that I would have expected at this stage.

Very complete and plummy. Spearmint and a fennel seed and white pepper palate. Fresh still. Very good.

Number 2 wine of the night. Amazing fruit and complexity. Classic menthol with a minute long finish.

Dec 9th, 2015I have had this wine a few times this bottle has cassis menthol minerals with some tca from barrel funk but has the raw material that this adds to the complexity . A serious bottle that will live for years to come .
