First time with this since barrel in June 23. Gorgeous aromas of vivid mid season cherry fruit that is very high toned. Love the wet earth as well which is super vivid. Blackberry flower and also kind of an explosive floral element like someone keeps rubbing flower petals in their fingers. Also a meaty, spice element as well. So complex and brilliant. This will be the 1st Marsannay 1er Cru one day. Palate is gorgeous with top notch elegance and terrific freshness and dense fruit that is not fully expressive as this point. Really stoney but ripe tannins. Gorgeous violets now peeking out. Still seems very closed and oozing with potential. I will be back. Gorgeous inner mouth aromas and this has such a seriousness to it. Wow! What an overnight transformation. Remarkable. This needed over 20 hours to come around but when it did it was so supple, juicy and layered with just unreal crystalline fruit. Dark black cherry and wonderful freshness and depth. 9.2 to 9.5 overnight.

At this point out of wack. Needs 2-3 years. Tannins a little harsh. Hint of oregano - some whole cluster, cherries. I am sure this will cross over 9 in a couple of years from now. Lacks interesting secondary flavors at the moment.
