9.5

Great nose, deeply fruited, mineral, haunting and aromatic. Riper than the 2024s, with inner-mouth aromas, deeper compote fruit, energy, freshness, great tannins, and excellent acidity. Big structure and tiny berry fruit intensity.

9.6

Huge red and sour cherries, tweed jacket earthiness, purple fruit, earth and leather, loam and mineral. Lipstick like intensity. Chinato like complexity, anise, gorgeous acidity and supple. Juicy and so generous and slippery fruit. Gorgeous density and purity. Acid is adequate and so supple. Inner mouth aromas, this has warm vintage fruit character but tension from an early pick maybe? Dark cherry, and anise on the finish. Tannins are velvet and sweet and ripe. After 7 hours open this wine is just a stunner. Nose is a bit of dark cherry, some discreet wood, wild berries and more. Palate is ethereal and dense but also nimble and so fresh. Unreal velvety tannins and so sweet. 9.6 Nose is so damson on day 2. Stunning cherry clarity and depth. Juicy, silky and sweet. Dark fruits and energy.
