Pinot noir. At Sailor. 09/30/2023 — a day ago
A stunning showing and 16 might be the best vintage ever at Walter. Nose is late season cherries, some framing oak, spice, tobacco, stunning minerality and just endless depth. So floral and complex. I could smell this all day. Smells like elite NSG right now. Palate is just amazing. Ridiculous dark cherry fruit that is so crunchy, fresh and concentrated. Wow this is so precise and succulent. Insane balance and hidden power. What depth and length. Amazing stuff in that it’s so silky and juicy and sweet and the oak is already so well integrated on the palate. This has sexy, velvety tannins and an amazingly long finish. 9.5 now but this will go higher. — 3 months ago
Always a wonderful wine. Nose is soppy red cherries, limestone, herbs and all presented in a super subtle way. Gorgeous wet earth under. Palate is all red fruits, citrus and tons of tanginess and freshness. Great acids and form, powdery tannins. Needs some time but the length and purity are all there for my score to go higher. Tightest young Schulen I can remember. As this airs it gains concentration and explosiveness. Tiny red fruits bursting in your mouth with terrific grip and noble structure. Big tannins. What a wine. Still a 9.3. but I can see 9.4-9.5 with 6-18 hours of air. — a month ago
