Terrific aromas. Confectionary fruit and spice. High toned end very pungent. Sweet. Sweet cherries. So good. Elite aromas. A big meaty element as well. Amazing fruit quality but also some lingering heat that takes away. Maybe it goes away? Finish is muddied. There is some energy here as well. Some big tannins. But palate is a letdown from the nose at this point. We will see where this goes.

Apr 9th, 2019Stunning nose. Meaty and gamey out of the gates with heady spices as well. Spice bazaar. Big bursting cherry fruits as well. So complex. An array of aromas. Dizzying. Palate is rich and ripe, with serious sap from the old vines. Intense and long. Brooding. Really wonderfully sweet and deep but needs 2-3 hours open to shine. Amazing velvety tannins and lingering spice. This is a knockout.

Dark purple. Nose of dark cherries and blackberries. Incredible and unique aromatics. Long. Dark fruit hint of elderberry earthy and rosemary herbaceous characteristics on the back palate. Very impressive a star wine maker! Impressive 👏👏👏.

A baby so this takes some time to get going, but it unfurls into a fantastic Clos VV village Gevry with an hour of air or so. A fantastic value for the quality. If you want to try Burgundy without the fuss and pomp, but all the typicity this is a great example. This should be on all cylinders in 3-5 years.

Holy crap. Needs 45 minutes to open up but wow. Great fruit. Mammoth licorice aromatics. A stunning stunning wine. Will be best in 3 or so years but great now with a decant. Buy as much as you can store.

Elegant. Built to last. This wine is a winner. Lot of structure here. While this can be enjoyed young, I see it coming into the zone in 3-5 years. Thanks @Lyle Fass
