Oh man this is so good. On one of the final frigid nights of this year this is so hitting the spot. Young but so deep, so dark, so structured and so good. Insane nose. More details later. The opulence is unreal. Huge tannins and structure to go fifty. This is giving 47 Cheval Blanc. Oh. My. Fuck. What a palate. So rich, so much energy, black fruits, opulent. Just crazy. Old vines are strutting. 1884 or 1885. Just the sickest, purest black fruit ever. Same thing when tasting Desestret’s barrel of 140 year old Syrah. Black but opulent and refined. Same thing here. Palate is stoney and velvety wirh some thick blackberry and black current fruit. Unreal tannins on the finish. Nose is a drug now. 9.9. Outrageously black fruited, maybe even the most restrained anise ever. Deep, inner earth, minerality. Man.
