My lord this is so beautiful. Nose is green grass, sage, minerals, lanolin, green apple skins and that unmistakable Franken stoniness. Just stunning and deep aromas. Wow. Penetrates like nothing else! Acid is so amazing and intense. Don’t forget that this is 21 and my goodness those acids are not shy. Palate is so cleansing and pure. Remarkable. Concentred and a mineral blizzard assaults your palate with such unique flavors. The terroir of Rodelsee just shines here. What a wine. More Rodelsee/Weltner than Chardonnay. So impressive but needs air to get to where it was last August. — 2 hours ago

Stunning wine. Nose is all violets. Black cherry, spice, discreet oak. Needs to open. This nose is insane after air. Violets galore and unreal vivid earth. Tree bark, some fresh leaves. It’s such a vin de terroir.

But that palate is wow. Stunning texture and purity with black cherry fruit inflected with violets. Amazing balance, nimbleness and depth. Such sweet tiny berry intensity. Lipstick like intensity now on the nose. Stunning wet earth notes and just so complete. More soon. That palate is sick! So round. Orb like. Such fine tannins and great acidity. Def needs some age but I had to taste it. Juicy and long and gets to every nook and cranny. Wow is this long. Black cherries and my god the tiny berry fruit intensity is remarkable. Genius but will open more. Nose is heaven after 4 hours. Complex, layered and ethereal. Psycho. Palate is so sweet, elegant and intense. But soft as well. Concentrated. fresh and sappy. So supple and sweet. Amazing stuff. 9.5 to 9.6. Big tannins ensure a long life.

Nose is very forward with wood shavings, white cherries, peach and apricot. Very ripe and exotic. Palate is scintillating. Awesome cleansing acidity and so pure. Forward palate as well but less so than the nose. Superb structure and sap. Almost tannic on the finish. Luscious and long with white peach and tangerine. Nose with air is hinting at secondary. Really elegant and with air finesse is developing. Long and concentrated. — 2 days ago

I adore this wine. Elite Bordeaux blend from a Italy for not much scratch. Nose is closed but some black plum, red plum, cassis but barely peeking through. But palate is a banger. Juicy, fresh and so linear with such fine tannin! Wow this is dynamite. So fresh and precise with flavors of plum and cassis and such refinement. What a finish. This is outrageous and been open for 10 minutes. Wow. I expect the nose to really go off soon. Now the nose after 4 hours is smokey, with sweet incense and pure black plum. Terrific high quality subtle sweet oak and tons of earthy notes. So complex and unique. Ethereal and subtle. Concentrated and refined but has a bit of Tuscan grittiness that just adds to the allure. Long with an earthy sweetness on the finish. Exceptional and classy and just so Tuscan. The finish lingers for so long and there is a creamy opulence that develops after 4 hours. The balance between the Cab Franc and Merlot is terrific. This is Tuscan St. Emilion. — 3 days ago

Nose is lemon, some discreet wood. vanilla extract, lanolin and an intense stony minerality. Sweet lime as well and just stunning aromatic depth and vividness. 9.4 nose. Great cut and almost zero wood on palate and what is there is lovely and complementary to the awesome acidity and freshness. Really long. Such a mineral bomb. Long. Wow this really drinks well for $32? A great wine. — 2 days ago

Stunning nose. Super aromatic, complex and spicey with a subtle herbal edge that is so so pretty. My goodness this is so pretty. Perfumed. Mashed violets and some wet earth. Insane sweetness on the attack followed by great acidity and freshness and some big tannins. This is more large scaled and structured than the Mitants. Terrific length and a sense of seriousness. Very deep and very young. This has exquisite fruit (mostly dark red cherries and black cherries) but the structure is dominant now. I’ll be back as this airs. With some brief aeration we’ve got stunning rose petals now. Dark red roses. Sweet late season red cherries as well. Super impressive inner mouth aromas and super explosive. Wow.

After many hours open this is stunning. 9.5 to 9.6 and and this is just brilliant and has that supernal balance that only elite wines have. Stunning fruit. Insane. So pure and so sappy. Genius.

In such a great spot. Tar, roses and mid season black cherries. So ebullient and aromatic. Smoke and mesquite BBQ as well and even a bit of hoisin. Palate is elegant and juicy with luscious and sweet cherry fruit and great length. Just so well made. Really velvety and complex. So sappy and pure. Love this. A great 15! — 3 days ago
