Been a few years and this is drinking so well now but no rush at all. Nose is sour cherry and mid season cherry and lovely earthy minerals. Very fragrant and a hint of confection. Palate is sleek and juicy and very refined. It is a bit short but air will lengthen it I think. Juicy and elegant airy lovely purity and balance. Awesome depth and grainy, elegant tannins. Needs air to go higher. Let’s see what happens.
9.4 to 9.5 overnight. Juicy and elegant and so finessed. — 2 years ago
Gorgeous nose. Unreal vivid cherry. Sawdust. Loads of stones and rocks. Super pure and so nimble. Loads of spice and flowers. Wow what a palate. Super elegant but has that rustic Monthelie charm. Also a lovely meatiness on the nose is developing with air. Needs air but man is this meaty, floral, sweet and super deep. Like a baby Clos Des Chenes which it abuts. Terrific energy and transparency. Big tannins need air to calm down. With air this is getting so elegant and it’s just teeming with energy! Wow Florent has killed 21! Overnight this gained in body and sweetness but still had some unresolved structure but man that finesse is there. — 13 days ago
