This is a stunning bottle. What a nose. Grassy, citrus, green apple, huge and I mean huge minerality. Smoke, flint and it’s piercing my nostrils. Tiny bit of malo/butter/oak but that’s 10% of the nose. Wow that palate is awash with acids and minerals up the wazoo. With huge red grapefruit and scintillating energy. It’s got huge acid but at the same it is silky and the structure on the finish is brilliant. So long and salty. Wonderful delineation. Super long finish. The salinity on the finish is remarkable. This was a 9.4 but the finish and balance make it a 9.5. Nose is so integrated now after some air. White Burgundy mimicry going on here. Got that Burgundian stank to it. Like elite Chassagne 1er Cru. As this airs it gets an intense chewy concentration and density. It keeps gaining complexity and density. 9.5 to 9.6.
