Decanted and aired for 3 hrs. Heavy sediment. Nose: Great 10/10. Graphite, pencil shavings. Palate: 9/10. Wow. Complex. Well balanced tannin and acidity. Smooth. Cassis, minerals, barnyard (in the good way). Finish: 9/10. Price: 8/10 ($265 2024). Enjoyment: 10/10. Would buy again: Yes. It's drinking nicely now.
