Gorgeous, high-toned nose of raspberry, red licorice, sweet mid-to-late-season cherry, sour cherry, earth and mineral, with tremendous depth and clarity. The palate is concentrated, juicy and beautifully delineated, with that full chord progression of red fruit, huge acidity, remarkable purity and enormous length. Decadent but restrained, dense but refined, with tremendous energy and everything perfectly in place.

Aug 19th, 2026I adore this bottling and my goodness did William kill 23. Gorgeous nose of wet earth, peppermint, soppy red and sour cherries, and my goodness like 4D limestone. William has arrived. This is a 9.6 nose. Pre tariffs and weak dollar this was $41!! My goodness this nose is legend. Just stunning. Juicy and so pure. Unreal balance and tangy red fruits and brilliantly framed oak. So pure. Unreal elegance. Just tremendous. Such crunch and energy. What a beauty. Such freshness. Let’s see what air does but this is a 9.5. The nose got insane with air. Like an insane floral bouquet.
