Wow. Whopping chablisien fruit out of the gate. So mineral. Explosively.

Awesome lechet fruit. So dense. Luscious. Mineral. This vintage seems more straightforward and less Reflecting the intense house style than other vintages. Stunningly delicious. Bravo.

I cannot emphasize how delicious this is. It’s the apogee of lechet.

Needs an hour. Dont waste sips before then. Maybe needs 2 hours. Density creeps up over time.

Nose is gorgeous sweet earth. Cranberry flower. An our in this is grand cru. Hard to describe but gorgeous deep and dense. Amazing cranberry perfume. You duck it in and it seems like a half a sniff fills the nostrils.

Palate is perfect sweet cranberries. Gorgeous texture. Incredible purity. As this opens more delicious. Just seeps into the palate. Almost this cherry anise cranberry otherworldly thing. Some spice. This vintage is more very good 1er cru on the palate. Very good but not elite density. But very good. Some cranberry licorice as this opens.

Finish is cranberry flower extract. So clean and pure and elegant. Wow. Elite finish. Sticks to the palate and just sits there defiantly. Eff you. I’m not leaving.

Needs air.
