Holy shit. This is incredible. The nose is Grand cru all the way. Just insane. Deep, penetrating red and black cherries. Stunning spice and clarity. Insane earth, also bright and damson. Wet earth and limestone. This is aromatic like nothing else. A rock star of a nose. 9.7 nose. I am blown away. I swear this smells like elite Vosne-Romanee. Just incredible. OMG that palate! Fresh, crunchy fruit and top notch, 1% finesse. This is so fresh, so juicy and so pure I’m in awe. This guy is a superstar. Amazing fruit skin complexity and just awesome purity. The nose keeps opening and getting deeper and deeper. It’s enchanting in a Tolkien type of way. Fleshy and ripe but also balanced by just wicked awesome acidity. This is a stunning wine. I’ll be back as it opens up.

Crazy good. Sweet red fruit with grip. 2019. Hard not to glug.
