9.5

So killer. Needed something bombastic yet focused tonight. This did the trick. Gorgeous nose of butter, minerals, sweet wood, and wafting wet earth. Classic. Palate is rich with great amplitude and killer acids and just outrageous length. The length pushes this to 9.5. The terrific purity here allied with the length is pretty thrilling. It just grips your back palate and does not leave. — 4 months ago

Opened and decanted. Tasting earth, leather oak on the finish. Dark fruit up front. Nice but wish the toasted oak was tamed a bit. — 22 days ago

Mysterium Pinot Noir/Blanc de Noir 2020

Buttery and just a bit edgy after four years of aging. Some apricot. It’s real nice but I wouldn’t wait any longer.

It works with soft cheese & fig jam.

9.4

Nose is a combo of lovely sweaty earthiness, a hint of butter and incredible minerality. Some wild mint and also baking spices. Terrific complexity. Palate is so focused and so rich yet racy as racy can be with exhilarating acid and minerality. Bousey is just so good. Quiet guy and goes about his business and never fails to impress. Long finish that gets to every nook and cranny. So juicy and teeming with energy and endless depth. Fruit is so focused and oak treatment is masterful. Almost a 9.5. — 6 months ago

Stunning. Cinnamon, brown sugar, acid, density. It sucks when you describe it like that. — 2 months ago

@Aravind A - “Stunning” = “Stunning”, descriptors don’t matter, no??

@Doug Powers spot on. Got distracted by my kids singing Apt while I was writing #seniormoment?
