Initially somewhat closed, with impressions of fennel and celery, ground pepper, and salmiak (salted licorice). On the palate, it is voluminous and also initially closed. Notes of pear and sage emerge, followed by hints of flint and fresh acidity that provide a lovely tension. Still young, and full of promise. Upward potential, 92+ for now.

3 hrs of decanter time blew off the reductive notes that I appreciated last time I tasted this.
Now I got pear, lemon, fresh greens, fresh acidity, citrus bitters, touch of oak. Still young and compact. 92+
