Always the woodiest as this is usually 100% new wood but it’s so well integrated at this stage and yes this aged so well. Had a 98 in summer 23 that was stunning. Nose has cocoa, vanilla, wild red cherry, spice and minerals. Needs to integrate but it’s all there. Gorgeous aromatic depth. Palate is woody and so silky with gorgeous, decadent red cherry fruit and terrific freshness. So pure and yet another brilliant William wine from 2023. So velvety and the tannins are so suave. Brilliant! Can’t wait to see how it airs. — 2 days ago

Au Natural on the nose. Lotion. Spice. Apple. Spiced apple. Palate is the story. Complex, concentrated and dense. Really wonderful. Fresh, it’s got great amplitude and freshness. Really nice acids and a sweet fruit on the finish. Sweet, ripe heirloom apples. — 5 days ago
Ultra rare bottling from the brilliant Tavel producer. An elite rose. Huge nose of citrus skin and big time wet earth. True gout de terroir. Gorgeous clarity to the berry fruit. Palate has enormous density and structure with unreal freshness. Stunning fruit and power with real grip and sappiness. Structure for 10-15 years. Really brilliant stuff. Getting so elegant with air. Unreal palate presence. Maybe 9.6. — 4 days ago

Have not had since the estate and wow this is insane. Unreal spice and mineral force. Overwhelming aromas and stunning wet earth. The gout de terroir is unreal. The decadence yet restraint is unreal. I could smell all day. Cherries on cherries on cherries. Cranberry bog, some light red currants. Just insane. Unreal finesse. Wow! Huge fruit soak and density. Massive structure and so pure. This always needs air and wow will this come alive after some air. Just stunning. 9.6 out of the gates. This got amazing after 2-3 hours and was all silk and satin with squeegee levels of red and black cherry fruit. I bet it will be even better tonight. — 2 days ago
