Big blueberry nose with gorgeous clay, granite and blackberry as well. Superb minerality and just amazing floral depth. Herbs de provence. A knockout nose. 9.6. What a value this wine is. Palate is juicy and a bit less good than the nose. Elegant even but also maybe closed? Needs time I think. Great complexity but showing it’s 15% sadly. Let’s see if this integrates.
It didn’t. Let’s see that today brings.

Yowza. What a nose. Superb aromas. Clay, blueberries and granite. Deep florals. So clean and pure. Amazing layering. Dude is so so underrated. Palate is pure, juicy, dark and has stunning texture. Awesome bounce and freshness. So much granite and freshness. Long and so so complex. Really really great. Real serious concentration here. Pure and deep. Sweet and ripe tannins and finishes peppery.

Mar 12th, 2021Gorgeous precise nose. Clay, graphite, mineral as all can be. Some gamey, wild feral note as well but also profound blackberry and red berry fruit. Gorgeous nose. Complex and concentrated with loads of minerals and full dry yet ripe tannins. Finishes with loads of granite and graphite and juicy fruit hints. Needs 45 minutes but it is all there.
