Needs a good 75 minUte decant. Very reluctant.
Nose: Smokey minerals. Lemon rind. Pith. Some sea breeze. Complete. Much richer and more dense as it opens.
Palate: hint of sweet lemon. Hidden density. Delicious. Elegant. Almost an herbal liquor taste after an hour. Denser an hour in.

Nose: sweet roses and cherries. Intense and beautiful. So floral
Palate: sweet cherries. A bit right but so lovely and balanced. Juicy. Still young. Has a decade to go at least.
Needs an hour. Then magnificent. The 20% vespolina just takes this over the top.
Almost a 9.6. A perfect boca.

A brilliant 17!!!!
This was a HOT vintage. And making good wine was hard. A ton of it was hot.
This took the vintage and ran with it. It has dark fruits but they are balanced nose has hints of smoke and Cassis. Lilac aromatics. Fun fun fun to drink.
Nose flirts with Barolo spice.
If you love wine you love vintage variation. I wish I had more of this. A triumph. — 2 days ago

Still good freshness. Elegant cherry fruit. Missing a bit of the vibrancy it had in its youth but still lovely.
As this opens you get lovely pink roses on the nose. This wine still has it. It just needs some time.

This is a crazy wine.
On open it tastes watered down.
An hour in its very interesting.
Nose: ultra fine mineral dust. A memory of lemon flower. Really gorgeous. A GG quality nose.
Palate: filigreed. Elegant. Mineral. The memory of a classic mosel wine.
Needs an hour decant but I’m glad I had this. Classic in its own way.

A rough day. So which wine will never disappoint? Dampt Cote de lechet.
Nose: lovely. A green apple skin mineral perfume. White flowers get this to 94.
Palate: sweet green apple. Salty. Mineral. Utterly delicious. This is not the acid driven hammer that 21’was but it’s in the range of being as good.
