Man that nose is ethereal. Just unreal. Tar, super floral roses with a dash of some dark red (burgundy) roses but more classic red mostly. But the ethereal level of this wine’s aromas are really compelling. Stunningly presented red cherry fruit with a leafy edge. Wow. Chestnut and spice and mindnumbingly complex. A 9.8 nose. Palate is satin. Perfect satin. Ungodly juicy and delicate with brilliant sweetness and sap. Nimble as a Ferrari with awesome purity and just such a delicate presence. But also sweet. Screams Chambolle. The elegance is off the charts. Structured but wrapped in satin. Also minerals galore on the finish. This has it all.

Soulful. Ethereal cherry fruit with softening tannic grip, acid structure, and a host of secondary notes. In a nice spot if a bit muted. Hold if you only have a couple. If you’re like me and priced out of GC burg this scratches that itch nicely.

Tarry and light. Amazing nose of tar, forest, soil, red berries, sassafras, liquorice…
That palate is completely addictive, tannins quite present, this is after 10 hrs slo-ox and 2 hrs decant.
Such a savory delight. With Jambon de Bayonne and manchengo, delicious. It’s difficult at a sidewalk bistro lunch to encapsulate just how magnificent this is.Even in small tumblers it shines through.
Nose for days…and then the palate is ethereal.
A protein involved wine.
Thanks@ FassSelections

Lovely out of the gate.
Nose of elegant cherry and cherry flower. Almost penetrating.
Palate is such clean cherry juice. Outstanding purity.
Long juicy finish.
There is an ethereality to this wine that takes it over the top for me.
