Took a bit of air to open up. Concentrated with a viscous texture - herbal greens, baking spices and sweet smoke create layers of complexity that make the glass enjoyable from front to back of the palate.
Tannins have yet to fully resolve at this age, but the fresh violets and solid mineral backbone already make this enjoyable to drink now.

Black-purple, intense, black and blue ripe full fruits, gorgeous mouthfeel, oak is there but integrated, nice but quite big and packs a punch. Still a baby, wait 5 years then maybe 93+? Four Seasons Beverly Hills Somm party
