Killer. What a set of 18’s here. Some spicey oak, some smoke, iodine, feral, funky, expansive and so crazy aromatic. Really deep. So airy and mineral but also a lovely hint of wildness. Man, so juicy and concentrated with such purity and finesse. Lovely iodine and minerality. This is so so refined. Wow. Long and elegant. So elegant. This is elite. Almost a 9.6. Terrific concentration and sweetness. Mineral, wood and fruit combine to bring an engaging and tactile sweetness to the wine.

Rich and complex nose. Wet earth, almost an umami Element, spice, citrus rind, superbly complex, perfumed and floral. Palate is dense and structured and showing much younger than I would have guessed. Superbly mineral and quite closed on the finish. But long and lingering with perfect balance.

Stunning wine. Sickness. Give Chavy a few years and he will blow you away. Refined and noble aromas of hazelnut and iodine. Flowers galore. So mineral. Earthy, funky, sponti. Palate is like it is chiseled from rock. So pure and compact with laser like precision and purity. My god the purity. It’s so clean it’s like a white room. Brilliant!

Held it's own with its older cousin. Just delicious. Barely a hint of oak on the nose.

Really aromatic out of the gates. Minerals, seawater, iodine, hazelnuts. Super nice. Out of the gates the palate is quite tight but superbly balanced and very pure. Terrific acidity, finesse and so much sap, power and concentration. Magnificent.

Wonderfully balanced, lemon curd and a nice resinous quality.

Love AM tasting. Stunning nose of iodine, hazelnut, minerals, earthy funk, some floral perfume, touch of oak and so much nuance and complexity which is what Folatieres is to me aromatically. Rich and elegant with ripping acidity and lovely mineral/iodine tones and impressive concentration, but is so graceful and elegant. Terrific lithe yet serious structure and dazzlingly pure. A baby now but this is drinkable and will age. So impressive.
