floral, herbal and so pretty, wow the nose is so insane, so refined and elegant, concentrated and so juicy but a little grippy and in need of time. awesome sap and purity. Long limestone finish and so pretty. Exceptional.

Another dense young Boussey 18. Glorious fruit and minerals but a wall of tannin. Needs a 2+ hour decant. Nose is gorgeous cherries. Lipstick like intensity. I’ll be back. Texture gets softer and deeper with air. I love 18 but will take a while to get there. Incredible concentration and minerals. A great wine.

9.2 to 9.3 overnight. Superb earth and red fruits. Strawberry, gorgeous classic Burgundian aromas. Palate is super juicy and sleek. Great power and depth and unreal fruit. Delicious. Way better on day 2.

I don’t need a lot of fruit from Savigny but I do need a little.

Gorgeous mid to late season cherry fruit on a bed of limestone. Gorgeous minerality. Palate has an ungodly amount of fruit. Juicy, oh man, so juicy, tiny berry fruit intensity and lovely sweetness. Just explodes. Terrific velvet tannins and freshness. Wow. A stunner.

Needs 45 minutes. Wet confused before then.

Nose - perfect cherry.

Palate: early season cherry. Cherry pit. Lovely internal aromatics.

Clean Finish.

Really very nice. Quite earthy on pop but really mellows out. Wonderfully intense nose. Finish isn’t overly long or intense but still really very enjoyable.
