For curiosity sake, opened a 96 bin 389 under coravin... Cannot compare the two. Opened much younger and in balance. Whoa. A totally different and superior beast.
Some mint, blackcurrant and dark fruit. Not overdone. Just so. Looks 10 years old maximum. Bayleaf and cherry too.
Palate is amazing. So powerful and balanced. Without being at all flabby. Perfect balance of fruit, tannin and acid.
96 points and one of the best 389's I have had.
