9.1

Lemon zest, some custard, highly mineral on the nose. Florals and tropical fruits still pretty restrained. A hint of RS but basically dry. Granitic; austere. Needs time. — a day ago

9.2

Dark berry, a little dark chocolate. A little cedar, fox, black currant. Library smells. Bright acid and rustic tannins, paired with such a lovely Margaux elegance and lightness. Really classic bottle of wine. — 4 days ago

9.8

Seamless, beautifully transparent and light, tannins have fallen away and left a surge of transparent energy. At first, an animal quality, horse stable notes, musk, and mincemeat. Then this resolves into pure, incisive peony, lavender and white truffle. Stunning.

With time, I’m increasingly taken with this wine. Increasingly acknowledging that this wine is as close to perfect as I’ve experienced. — 21 days ago

8.9

Elegant, very lean, thin at first but fills out to be expressive. Angular. Still in its prime. — 2 days ago

9.2

Really long, streaky acidic fruit, with a depth and richness. Almost like a champagne. Deep almost tropical notes. Golden hued, citrusy. — 4 days ago

9.5

Beautiful cherry and fruitwood aroma. Lipstick and liquer. Some herbs- black tea, bay, oregano. Super perfumed. Elderberry. Purple fruited with lovely prickly tannins on the finish. Absolutely has the structure to age 10+ years.

Day three and this is just so earthy and beautiful and completely vibrant. Up to 9.5. Love. — 9 days ago

Confectionary. Green, expressive. Deep slatey minerality. Long, fruity acid expression. Deep gold hue. Excellent. — 4 days ago

9.0

Sweet, oaky. Fair acidity. Buttered popcorn and caramel candy more than wine. But fun. — 9 days ago

9.3

Citrus; finger lime, smoky minerals. Bright, a little bitter and with an interesting saline quality. On the palate this is weightless, flush with beautiful acid, and a texture that is subtle. Hint of marzipan. Not quite the aromatic complexity I was expecting, but maybe that will come with age. — 21 days ago
