Big exuberant nose. Soppy bright red cherries. Mid to late season. Loads of earth, moss and minerals underneath. Spice and florals as well after air. Palate is insanely juicy and dense but with next level freshness and depth. Fruit has energy for days. So pure and deep. Loads of tiny berry cherry intensity fruits here. A great 1er Cru Monthelie. Very exciting. Love this level for 2018 for now and for cellaring. Mouth coating and ripe tannins but also smothered and enclosed with minerals which also provide freshness. Epic. Drink now through 2038 or so. An ager but a great drink every day along the way.

Man I love 2018. Huge pungent lipstick like fruit. Gorgeous mid to late season red and black cherries. Stunning. Such purity and aromatic depth. Has a gamey depth as well. Palate just has “crank it up” fruit. Juicy, dense, complex and full of big ripe velvety tannins. Amazing density and purity. What a finish. This is so epic. Such tiny berry fruit intensity. So good. Amazing concentration. Long, succulent, tangy and sappy. So fresh and energetic. Long. What a version of this. Sickness!
