Lovely sweet finish.

Still a baby. Needs an hour to be civilized. 5 years to be great.

Nose: elegant lavender. Lilacs. Elegantly savory. Earth.

Palate: still young and candyish like young vintage port. But it’s. All. There. Vibrant cherries.

9.5 is a floor. Will likely be higher. HOLD.

Yeah. 9.7. Nose is magic at 90 minutes. That maesltrom of dark flowers, wet brick and spice flowers. A hint of musk. Sensual. Sexy. Wow!

Young and bashful on open. Needs air.

As it opens you get elegant concentrated lilacs on the nose. On the palate, wild blackberries. Licorice. A hint of balancing bitterness.

Needs 2-5 years still. Could be much better then.

Nose is confused on open at this point.

Palate is rocking. That classic sexy Buffet fruit. Perfect midseason cherries. Sexy spice. A hint of cherry licorice.

As this opens so savory. Crazy levels of density. Dense herbaceousness.

Nose is lilacs. A hint of bramble perfume. Lovely and quite interesting.

Palate is remarkably silky and elegant. Juicy elegant wild blackberries. You get that acidity. Lovely internal aromatics.

Beautifully well made.

As this opens, this ineffable quality. Yes … this is fucking burgundy.

Fantastic natural Pinot Noir from Balatonmelleki, Hungary. Very light at 11.5% abv, acidic and vibrant. Had it for Christmas Eve dinner with filet mignon in mushroom red wine sauce, roasted potatoes and asparagus. @Delectable Wine Bencze Birtok is the producer — 3 years ago
