Exquisite.

Nose : intense early season cherries. Lilacs. So expansive. So dense. Elegant cherry lipstick. Wow!

Palate: perfect early season cherries. Mineral. Amazing internal aromatics. Utterly delicious.

A triumph.

Pour 2 sip pours and knock this back in 30 minutes. That’s how it rolls now.

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.

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.

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!

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 — 4 years ago
