I was fortunate enough to try this in April in Seattle as part of a 22 vintage deep vertical. Decanted for at least an hour, it was an opaque purple plum. I smelled ripe plums and a distinct but balanced edge of vanilla oak. Very ripe fruits (not overripe by any means), plums, other dark fruits. The tannins are virtually submerged underneath the very well extracted fruit. A stunningly good wine.
