Nose is buttery and rich with stunning clarity. Lime zest, minerals and some dried soil tones as well. Palate is nervy and tense with tons of saline and green apple. Very juicy and delineated. Really precise stuff. Terrific acids and lovely mineral wash on the finish. Great wine. — 10 months ago
Ridiculous nose. Unreal clarity of dark cherry fruit and crazy cherry skins. Insane depth and top notch aromatic purity. Insane florals and spice. Nose is a 9.6 on the PNP. Some earthy funk as well and just a shockingly great nose. Palate is ripe, energetic and rich with insane sap and purity and awesome balance. Just a breathtaking wine that floats on the palate and has that extra special Burgundy thing that we all chase after. Insanely great. As this airs the class, finesse and refinement start to show and the fine powdery tannins. — a year ago

First time since barrel in summer of 23 and it blew me away then. Gorgeous and pointed cherries on the nose, some minerals, bittersweet cocoa, spice, metal shavings and more. Gorgeous but will need some time to become more aromatic. Palate is a little discombobulated on the PNP but it’s all there. Grippy, dramatic fruit, amazing length and fruit density, gorgeous purity and grandiose minerality. It needs to come together though. It will. Really coming into its own with minimal air as that finesse is something else. And so so juicy. So fresh and energetic and what amazing fruit cling!! With air this comes alive with just exquisitely perfumed fruit. Perfect balance. Really great. — 21 days ago
