Served this beauty on 2 occasions with Vinloq Preservation
DAY 1
👃Precocious yellow fruit (grapefruit and lemon) and green apples, flinty minerals, white pepper, and grassy herbals
👅Lemon oil with white pepper and spirited minerality. The fruit is more round and more restrained than on the nose.
Salty. Great acidity. The oak treatment is spot on. Long dry, mineral laced finish. So good
The remaining wine was Slow Decanted in my refrigerator and finished a week later
DAY 7
Such a glorious nose on this burgundy. Really delightful. White flowers and peach and even some tropical fruit notes. Flinty and expressive. Totally lovely on both occasions
I knew this was likely young but I was curious to try my first bottle. It's clearly drinking well now but it's going to be stellar with more bottle age.
I am looking forward to revisiting another bottle in time🥂

Tremendous red blend. Bold and silky. Chewy. Great legs and big nose. Decanted. Drink slow. — 3 months ago
A wine that really reminds you why Bordeaux is Bordeaux. So classic on the nose - leather and stinky earth, restrained fruit. From the color would have guessed 10-15 years younger than it is. So mouth filling - hits every part of the palate. Acid slightly less than I was hoping but still delicious and a perfect pairing with a slow cooked lamb stew. — 2 years ago

Gave this 45 min slow ox to really open. On the nose: peach, soft ginger, limestone, orange, just so intensely aromatic. On the palate: fantastic acidity, good salinity, mulberry leaf, limestone, peach...wow, love that density paired with the zip. Another absolutely stunning showing. — 4 years ago
