Glorious old school nose of plum, red cherry that is ethereal, spices and has such a deep stoniness. Tree bark. Citrus rind. Chestnut. Palate is super concentrated, sappy and fresh. Wonderful cut and grip. Still needs to flesh out but boy will it In the next few hours. Velvety tannins and rocky/sweet fruit. Barely sweet. This is a burg that puts hair on your chest. The minerality is profound! Wow. What a showing. Can’t wait to see how this evolves. Finish is firggin’ epic. Almost 9.6. Likely will get there.

24 hours later it is there. Gorgeous purity. Unreal clarity and balance. 9.5 to 9.6.

This is such old school Burgundy. Nose is so fragrant with gravel, mahogany, dark cherry, spice. Concentrated yet lithe in the mouth. Zinging acids. Resolved tannins. Great length and cling. Wow.

Still young but drinkable. Lovely earthy nose. Deep strikingly tart cherries in the palate. Finish is violets. So fresh. Deep. Dense. Wow. Bought from fass selections.
