Nose is a bit mute but has lovely penetrating minerality. Also dark cherries, plum, and smells like there is a lot there but it is still a bit tight. Will take a few hours to unfurl. Terrific palate! Fresh and concentrated with a lovely wirey nimbleness. Big tannins coated with huge minerality. Glorious fruit and depth. Stunning wine. All the components are there for greatness. I’ll be back.

Stellar. No formal notes. Young but not totally inaccessible.

Fucking burgundy!!!! Pretty much that’s the note.

Nose has earth, precise cherries. Just ... perfect fucking burgundy.

Palate. Precise cherries. A hint of cherry licorice. So fresh and balanced. So grippy. Great texture. Almost a hint of grapefruit pith to round it out. So well made. Just lasers the palate with fresh cherry juice. ... fucking burgundy!

As it opens you get some of that elegant richness that you want. Finish is gorgeous cherries. Cherry licorice. Almost a hint of chocolate covered cherries. So fucking good.

This is exactly what you want. Not an iota more. Not an iota less.

Like I said ... fucking burgundy! So awesome and classic.

And yes this needs another 5 years. Sue me.
