Unreal nose for one of the best wines in all of NSG. Gorgeous black cherry fruit that is so clear and vivid. A hint of black plum but more black plum skins. Wild mint, desiccated tree bark, wild flowers and mega forest floor. Just stunning. 9.6 or 9.7 nose. Rich and deep with awesome purity and freshness. Really lush and succulent with terrific tiny berry fruit intensity. Superb concentration, structure and juiciness. Such a baby but not inaccessible. Really long finish and so compact. Glorious and can’t wait to see what the evening brings for this wine. This did get riper, “soupier” and plummier. Showed its “20” bones. Still fresh and deep but man 20 is all plum it seems like at some estates.

May 27th, 2025Gorgeous wine and drinking so well and has that ultra pure and crystallized 2019 darker fruits. Nose is black and red cherrie, earth, minerals, kirsch and blackberry. Dynamite clarity to the nose. Palate is so juicy and so concentrated with a bit of a muddle now as it needs to come into focus but it will. Such purity and depth. Let’s see how air treats this wine.

1 person found it helpfulOct 14th, 2023Holy mackerel. This wine has come out of nowhere to be one of the top NSG out there. Stunning nose. Floral, beguiling aromas of dark cherries, fresh wet earth and more. Just amazing aromas and just popped but the palate is tighter than a fill in the blank. It has that deep deep 12 fruit but is wildly closed now. Will follow. After an hour this is mindblowing. Huge power and concentration with unreal fruit. Startling length.

Holy moly Insane levels of depth. But still balanced. Incredible acidic balance. Licorice hints. Spice on the finish. Finish is really dense. I can picture ledy lingering over every grape. You can taste the insane levels of effort and low yields. 3-5 years too young. Bought from fass selections.
