Ahhhhh. 21 N Rhône. I will drink 12.5% Syrah all day. Glorious. Needed an hour in the decanter and then it slayed. Meaty, floral, and so so fresh. — 14 hours ago

Wow what a stunning nose. Just unreal clean and very high toned mid season cherry. Like a cherry bomb. Just the essence of cherry. Drop dead stunning. It’s insane how pure this is. 9.6 nose but can go higher. Oh my god. Cherry flower beyond. Almost a Sangiovese like Pergole Torte effect. Stunning. Some citrus rind and white tea as well. Palate is so elegant and just stunningly pure. So juicy and clean with gorgeous cherries but seems to be holding back but my goodness is this a superb wine with top top finesse. Florent has arrived with his reds. They were always good but wow they are top 1% now. — 5 days ago

Just stunning from the first and likely last Treppchen Kabinett.

There is this smarties/vanilla extract thing on the palate and it’s a dense monster but so elegant and featherweight. Just stunning. — 8 days ago

Nose is lemony and mineral. Grassy notes as well and so clean. Like an air spray of Macon. Some deep green apple and pear scents as it airs. Palate is so juicy and my goodness is this mineral. Steely and intense with some green apple skin and terrific purity and freshness. Great concentration and so lean. This is the polar opposite of the “fat Macon.” Really chewy, dense and structured. Awesome sweet spring like fruit and a terrific finish. Wow this is getting very aromatically complex with some air. — 5 days ago

Stunning aromas of mid season cherry, some malted milk balls, gorgeous earth aromas and a firm mineral background. Really lovely pointed spice as well. Really expansive and so crystalline as 19 can be. So opulent in the mid palate but also allied with terrific energy and freshness. Luscious cherry fruit with great tang and chewiness Long, winding finish with even a bit of citrus Really gets to every nook and cranny. Superb stuff. Wow. — 7 days ago

Solid. Leather, spice, red berry fruit. Earthy nose. Energetic and fresh. Creamy slightly. Very 21. Nose is earthier with air and the palate is cleaner. — 10 days ago
