Love this wine. Gritty, deadlifts more than me. Nose is funky but also deeply fruited. Lovely “sous bois.” A nose from yesteryear. Wild florals, wet earth, stanky black cherry. Big, deep, thick blackberry fruit on the palate. Suave and also rustic tannins full of black cherry and blackberry fruit. Fresh. Needs air but full of character and so damn good. Huge spice on the nose today. Heavenly. Big time Xmas spice. Palate is all silk and decadent fruit. Glorious. — 7 months ago
Gorgeous wine and 22’s are so good now. Black cherry and dark red cherry with just terrific clarity. Wild mint and limestone galore. Palate has glorious fruit and energy. Gained so much elegance since 2023. Sappy, chalky, mineral and pure. Velvet tannins on the mid palate and become chalky on the finish. Air will do wonders for this. Juicy and rustic but also elegant. Quite a needle this wine threads. — 8 months ago
Really pretty red fruit. Nice acidity. Quite lacked tannins, ripe or otherwise. Polished and v drinkable. Maybe not long aging potential but fine by me. — a month ago
10 years in the bottle. Needed a weekday break. Tried over 5 days under Argon. This is excellent. And very classy. Closed at first - then after 2 days a real beauty. Deep dark cherry, 🍒 hint forest floor, bark, tannins almost fully resolved 13.5%. Hint Turmeric, black tea. Drink Now! — a year ago

Nose: white flowers. Remnants of honey.
Palate: elegantly rich. A kiss of honey. Mineral. Great balancing acidity. Delicious.
A 9.3. But an amazing 9.3.
