Light, bright, unripened fruit. Couldn't get into it.

Nervy with amazing energy. A wine full of light that isn't hiding anything

8 barrels in the world folks. Stony and something ancient hidden in this young fruit. Just wait I think

Little ripper of a wine once it warmed up and popped through a decanter. Delicious

Nice French #bourgogne with a touch of typical reduction but beautifully integrated tannins.

Really unstable, astringent opening and then settled in the decanter. Perfumed florals. Candied red fruit. Stone and dried leaf. Not particularly complicated but no less enjoyable. Happy Birthday @Gerald Montoya

Classic expression that delivers at a great price point. Dense cherry, cigar box, earthy. Acidity is there and helps keep a nice balance. This could probably age for a LONG time.
