9.1

From an alpine valley in Italy close to France. Very light and elegant reminds me of a Chambolle-musigny. Raspberries, hint orange juice, good tannic structure. Strikes me as a drink now wine. I would keep this may be 3-4 years at most. Might be worth to cellar a little bit and see what happens. From Max Kogod. — a month ago

That nose, like cherry jolly ranchers mixed with crushed stones and tree bark. Orange peels. Almost Tamarind paste. Burgundian, but as so many have said, very Germanic. This, opening a ‘19 could be infanticide, but rewards are apparent. After driving to and fro for 4 hrs. Through early changing leaves it feels perfect. And on the palate it’s as if weightless, expansive, brown-and red fruit commingling. Tart, but mouthwatering so, not prickly or tannic.
Delightful wine.

2006 vintage. Decanted and tasted after an hour. Quite a bit of sed. Light-medium/medium body. Sandalwood, plum, orange peel and raspberry all on display here. Good focus remaining. Figure it to cling to this spot for another 4-5 years before going down a notch. 1.19.24. — 3 months ago
