Needs a bit of air upon opening to blow off the reductive edge.
Shows juicy, ripe, creamy blueberry with a bit of toasted and a fresh, mineral streak.
The magic happens on the palate - brilliant energy & depth. Great, pure, juicy, fresh blueberries with rocky minerality. Sappy, velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, so fresh.
This is brilliant stuff - complex, elegant, quite serious. And so drinkable. . — 7 months ago

Beautiful northern Rhône. Crazy aromatics. So pretty, dark sour cherries, pepper, some pleasant herbal greenness, a little stemmy. So many lovely layers. I need to put a 2022 away for probably 7-8 years to really hear it sing. — 6 months ago
Very rich dark berry flavor, sweeter that some cabs. — 9 years ago
