Bought on release, $89.95, it’s gorgeous—but so tight at 21 years of age—surprisingly so. Fruit takes a back seat to acidity and structure as well as chalk and minerality. I really like this wine and it will live decades but tonight I’m happily sacrificing a little tooth enamel. — 7 days ago
This bottle knocked it out of the park! Beautifully balanced, white flowers, honeyed elegant with a superb finish perhaps the best version of this terroir I have had — a month ago
I’ve noticed that, in recent years, many types of wines (particularly from various regions in France) seem blockier and less unified/integrated when young. Like all the components are there, but separated and not vertically integrated. And it seems more pronounced the hotter the growing season that year. I am beginning to think this is a result of global warming. What I don’t yet have a fix on is if time in bottle ultimately integrates these wines. Since I tend to drink wines on the younger side, I’m not sure I’ll ever get to the point where I can make a confident conclusion on that.
Still youthful that opened up beautifully with some air showing notes of dark cherry, red berry, game, mineral, spice, soy, orange peel & violet — 21 days ago
