Second bottle after the first was off. As expected it has has a rich/creamy texture back by a healthy amount of sweet vanilla oak. Still it retains nice elegance with ripe raspberry, plum, mineral and dried herb. Silky smooth and polished but needs cellaring.

Agree with other notes regarding closed, high octane, …. Coravin’d a tasting alongside Saffredi 2016 and Sassicaia 2003. This was the least enjoyable on the table. Rambunctious, unweildy, poised to attack. This one needs a major pouring ritual or, even better, let it sleep 5-10 years.

Very ripe and beautiful fruit. Well balanced but certainly rich and a bit much at this early stage. I’ll wait a few years for my next bottle and it wasn’t revealing much but clearly packed with goodness.

Corked. Faint at first but got much worse with time.
