Cinnamon, nutmeg & clove at first, then lots of layers of baked cherries & rhubarb, leather and savory notes.

Crushed wild strawberries and strawberry jam on the nose. Smells like roses and maybe violets when it begins to open. Something vaguely Nebbiolo like with that scent. Good long finish. Easy but present tannins. We drank most of a mag. Would love to have sampled the rest today.

Fresh, organic, sensual. So unbelievably sensual-- deeply perfumed and endlessly complex.
Organic (honestly made me immediately think of wet freshly cut grass that has clumped up underneath the lawnmower. Also, wet forest floor, and bit of smokiness. Bay leaf.) , vegetale (wtf it smells almost like a fresh made bloody Mary plus celery and almost broccoli), meaty (thick cut of bacon), and huge array of red and blue fruit (ripe strawberry, cranberry, acai berry, touch of plum, bit of vine ripe blackberry too).
Acid wonderfully high (and continuing to merge itself nicely back into the fruit as the bottle stays open), tannin mod and deliciously smooth, alcohol mod.
Must note, this is the closest thing to Cote Nuits Pinot that isn't Cote Nuits Pinot... That's a good thing.
This is one of those wines I could write a short story about, and those wines are always fantastic.
Feel like this would hit it's peak at about 2025/2030.
92.5
