This is a specialty here and wow this is really something. Such a glorious and nuanced nose of spice, tree bark, glorious dark black cherries, spicey oak and wonderful violets. It’s super clean, nuanced and multilayered. Great. Palate is fresh, energetic and has superb purity and freshness. Tangy red cherries on the palate, a bit of oak and as always this needs mega air but it’s all there as it always is. Huge structure on this. Elegant and so bright. Awesome length. Needs 5 years.
Day 2 update : 9.4 to 9.6 overnight. Palate is so fresh and energetic. Unreal freshness and purity. Beautiful sweet, silky and cherry fruit. Long, tangy and fresh. Haunting and deep. Wow. Amazing on day 2.

Wow. Deeply fruited nose. So complex. Deep. What a stunner. Spice, mineral and violets for days. Amazing spice. Dark cherry fruit. Even some cassis. So vivid and pure. Wow. Wet leaves. Black tea. Dry leaves. Xmas spice. So layered and amazingly complex. A real wow nose. As soon as it’s popped. Palate is amazing. Sweet, complex and velvety with awesome balance and acidity. Amazing tiny berry fruit intensity and such stunning purity and texture. Best young Walter Frühburgunder I’ve ever had. Takes over your palate with a texture that is unreal. Stunning. Blown away.

Expressive, elegant, complete. Overused adjectives but no way around them today.
Visually pretty. Glowing reds and browns of raspberry balsamic and soy sauce. Perfumes like shrapnel of strawberry preserves and cherry flesh, skins and all. Firm, plush, bite, and acid.
Tension and balance in an even give and take. Just awesome.
