Stunning as usual. Nose is dense almost like a pastry aromatic texture if that makes sense. Gorgeous green apple and some pear and huge minerals but you smell the opulence of 2022. Lots of brown sugar as well. Rich, energetic and just full of fruit. Huge fruit which is just brilliant here. So complex and concentrated with the fruit veering more towards fruit skin. Exquisite balance and drop dead purity. Wow this is clean. Stunning inner mouth aromas. Chewy and dense unreal depth. Finish leans saline and the juiciness keeps pumping the fruit skin, little bit of fruit flesh and unreal length that also has tiny accents of spice. Brilliant. What a finish. Lingers like a bad zit. I love 22, has all the opulence, but also all the minerality and all the energy. Brilliant. Ah wow, after 6+ hours open this is a delight. It’s so filigreed and elegant with sweet minerals and so much juiciness backed by the most unreal precision ever. — 2 months ago

This got the bones but needs 3 years.
Nose: elegant cherry. Cherry flower. Still has pencil shavings. There’s some density here. But it’s subtle. Early stages of expansive. When the wood integrates should’ve very good to spectacular.
Palate: silky cherry mountain stream. Some pencil shavings. Young.
Floor is 9.4. Could be a 9.7 if it ages well. Lovely balance.
