Insanity on the nose. Just bonkers. Sickness. Huge spice. Huge I mean huge spice. Also super mineral and very pure. Confectionary cotton candy like aromas and tree bark. Also tea. Maybe hoisin as well. Mindblowing. Big palate and immense power but incredibly elegant. It has Grand Cru grip and intensity and it is considered the best wine at the estate. Better than Clos des Chenes. It is insanely powerful and stacked to the brim with bright fruit and mineral that has sap, and really stains the palate. I think in 2 hours this will be insane. It’s changing every minute. What a wine.

Dec 12th, 2018A wow wine and easily the top 1 or 2 wines at Chez Bouley now. Soaring aromas of cherry, cherry liquer, cherry flower, huge limestone, amazing mineral depth. Subtle hint of jam that adds to the complexity. Truly a wow nose. As it aerates it grows now complex but always with one foot in a mineral pool. Palate is extraordinary. So juicy with an unreal velvety texture and perfect balance and freshness. Huge cherry fruit that is presented on a bed of velvety tannins and then the fruit really fans out on the finish. Extraordinary. What palate presence. Amazing delineation energy and purity. Stunning.
