Yes, this was too young to drink such a rare bottle, but so it goes... Pop and pour, I did revisit it after a few hours. Purple in color, ruby at the rim. The nose has cassis, black cherries, spice and a slight mineral backbone. On the palate, this is really elegant. Silky texture with sinewy tannins. Great acidity makes it lively and energetic. Cassis and dark chocolate shavings on the palate with again, a mineral backbone. Long finish. This obviously needs 5 to 10 more years before it should be opened, but it was great to get a glimpse into it now. Hopefully, my friends that i shared this with will remember me... Certainly upside potential here.
