Nose: lifting cherries. As it opens more deep and velvety.
Palate - elegant cherries. Such gorgeous sweet silky fruit. So fresh. Silky tanins. Savory. A bit meaty. Some plum.
He did a masterful job in a vintage that was critically panned.

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.

Nose: midseason cherries. Spice. Maybe cloves.
With air some savoriness, lilacs. More Burgundian.
Palate : sweet midseason cherries. Hint of licorice. Bracing acidity.
In an odd place now. Not showing it’s usual exuberance. Let’s see where it goes.

Nose: potent. That th tropicality. Piercing fresh minerals.
Palate: slatey. Hints of tropical fruit. A bit bitter on open. Needs an hour to open up and integrate. This may be a masterpiece with time.
Still needs another year.
