Plum, cherry and some sort of brighter acidity. I'd let it rest a few more years.

Given my "too early" assessment in 2021, I decanted this bottle 6 hours in advance. Beautiful nose of purple fruit / violets. Early drinking window. Good balance. Not spectacular but solid. For my palate this will be the best in the coming 5-10 years when the fruit is still notably present.

Pitch black with a purple rim, completely shut down nose. After a few hours of aeration this was still a bit nervous. Bright acids, dark purple fruit and a touch of vanilla and black pepper. I like my VP on the younger side of the drinking window when the fruit is still powerful but already rounded out. My next bottle will be in 4-6 years. Opened too young in the muted/shut down phase. 93++
