Mid season cherry, sour cherry, so lithe yet substantial aromas. Woodsy. Woodland berries. Spice. Limestone and minerals. Love it. Palate is clean, concise, compact and so juicy. So so pure. Amazing juiciness. Balance is top notch. Mouth filling. Awesome velvety tannins and wonderful freshness. Dazzling depth. Terrific concentration and grip. So so deep. Still can age (5-7) but wonderful today. Glorious wine.

Feb 21st, 2020Florent's breakthrough vintage for reds. He crushed 14 across the board. Reticent nose (it's too cold, my fault) at first of freshly picked dark cherries and some earth. More nose notes later. The palate is young but amazingly fresh with tons of energy. Loads of bing cherries and tons of dense tannins and terrific freshness due to the crunchy acids. Such nice fruit and sap. This will and should age but had to try it. More nose notes later as gets to room temp.
