Starting to emerge from its shell, this is still tight and needs decanting, but with air and time is very delicious. Cranberry, raspberry, dried roses, olive tapenade, currant, tobacco, graphite, clove, nutmeg. More to come. I’ll save my remaining bottles for another couple years. Better 2024+ is my best guess.

Fresh, racy, nuanced, and striking. Ripe aromas and flavors of blackberry, plum, olive and spice throughout, with very fine, whispery tannins, and so much finesse. It’s incredibly drinkable right now and has decades before it. One of my favorite wines of the tasting. (Jason Wilson, Vinous, July 2020)

Too closed at the moment. Opened up somewhat after a couple of hours in the decanter. Oak is not yet integrated, but the fruit and acidity speaks of great things to come. Would love to try it with 10–20 more years of bottle age.
