9.2

Very lean on the nose, red rocks and Syrah-like olive tapenade. Brambly black fruit, vanilla (a hint, would never guess it’s 100% new oak), a core of cassis. Tannins are still quite grippy. — 2 days ago

Supple but focused. Leads with reductive notes, like a marble slab. White flowers, sour apple, lemon pith, bitter almonds. Acid spine comes through in the finish — 8 days ago

Supple cola undertones. As it opens up things get exotic with sage, clove, orange peel overlayed on ripe white cherry — a month ago

PYCM younger brother. Very pronounced pear (not my call but I agree), white flowers and ripe white peach, with an underlying lemon pith and subtle nuttiness — 8 days ago

9.5

The full package. Nose is slightly reduced with crushed stone minerality but without covering the bright fresh lemon foundation, with a layer of lemon blossoms. On the palate, a slight bitter nuttiness emerges, but surrounded by mouthwatering acidity. — 8 days ago

9.0

Still good but I feel like I opened it just in time as the bottle was about to go downhill. Medium gold. First notes are toasty and oxidative citrus. Candied lemon, creme brûlée, slight peanut husk and a hint of Marsala. Carbonation dissipated quickly. Still enjoyable but definitely something wrong with the bottle — 10 days ago

PYCM’s younger brother. The most is a bit shut down for now but solid, mineral-driven with a hint of white florals. The palate is a different story: there’s a chalky-creamy texture that’s hard to explain and to die for, an interplay of supple ripeness and out of bound minerality. The acidity is there to support the conclusion but the taste takes a back seat to the texture. Remarkable even considering the shy nose, would love to drink it in its prime. — 8 days ago

9.2

So powerful, rich and concentrated! Leads with dense white flowers and white-fleshed fruit, the palate has a dense texture and almost a phenolic bitterness of almond skin. Acidity is not up there with leaner vintages but still sufficient — 8 days ago

surprisingly not expressive, especially considering the prestige and that I’m tasting their pinot as well which is out of this world. Very lean and leesy, Chablis-like, austere mineral notes and faint lemon-lime fruit. All good stuff but not much of it. It could possibly be shut down at this stage — 15 days ago
