Gorgeous and best JJ ever. Nose is full of mid season cherries, spice, gentle wood shavings from woodshop when one was a kid. Really aromatic and alluring. Really huge spice. So so aromatic and casts a spell on you. Palate is so juicy and full of life. Sweet and sour cherry fruit and big time acids and wonderful structure and purity. This needs mega mega air. The sweetness on the finish and mid is to just die for and then gets tamed by the incredible acidity and mineral spine. — 10 days ago

An inky nose with savory notes and an intense purple stony note. Very contained and punchy. cool flavors with intensity. Good balance given the sheer size of the wine — 2 months ago

Love the Counoise element and this is definitely a lighter bodied wine relative to the Saxum range. Alcohol is hot and fruit expression isn’t quite as refined as I would expect from this producer. Still young though so curious to see how it will develop. — a month ago

A behemoth of a wine, super concentrated, pretty oaky, stewed fruits. Took a long time to open up. — 2 months ago
