I think this is now the top red at Cruchandeau. Mind blown. First that color is one of the darkest 23’s yet. Nose is grapey but so deep, so complex and so precise. Dark black cherries, gorgeous wet moss, unreal clarity and lift. Blackberry flower, blackberry juice and just unreal mineral lift. 9.7 nose. Absolutely stunning. Lush and energetic with just awe inspiring texture and insane tiny berry fruit intensity and such refinement and class. This is genius. The tannins are so refined and so velvety. It’s sweet but then finishes with a limestone crescendo. God’s jelly donut making an appearance on the nose. Just brilliant. My goodness this is a a hedonistic wine but also intellectual. Lush fruit, great energy and limestone for days. This needs air to develop but 9.6 off the bat. The nose on day 2 is gorgeous. All black fruits, spice, dark flowers and shimmering limestone. Big time God’s jelly donut vibes. Amazingly sweet fruit but also some sour complexity and unreal velvety texture. So silky. Just a stunning wine. Big and very suave tannins.
