Nose is a 10. Unreal. Blackberry flower. Bee pollen. Sweet limestone. Purple fruits. That’s the best nose on any NSG ever. Wow. Just magic. Almost an 11. Sweet cherries are just insane. The palate is just insane. Painful minerality but gentle and so intense. Wow. So balanced and pure. The tannins are NSG but clear and ripe. Violets starting to peek out. Opulent mid palate and follows with almost a granitic energy. Almost Red Rieslingesque. Mid season cherry, darker red cherry, complex and mineral. Yes this is a 10. Yowza. After 7 hours this hasn’t lost a thing and is gaining in sweetness, tannin and elegance. Unreal.

On day 2 this wine is a problem. It’s the closest I have had to La Tache that isn’t La Tache. It’s actually even more elegant. And the spice on the nose is just next level. Beyond. Honeyed. So complex you cannot believe it. It’s the most insane thing. It’s just so high quality and pleasurable. Layered fruit. Layered spice. Waves. All so detailed and perfumed. This a benchmark for me. This is also giving Leroy with the aromatic depth. The palate is just exquisitely weightless and sweet but never vulgar. It’s opulent and sweet but whispering. The whispering only Burgundy can do. It’s got the finest tannins. So fresh and deep. Will age 20 years. Just a masterpiece. Totally blown away. — 6 days ago

2016 vintage. Second label with plenty of stuffing to warrant attention. Unexpected passenger fruit aboard alongside the expected tannic cargo. Great value if you can source it. Less than $30 resto cost and built to drink now or in a decade+. 01.30.25. — 3 months ago
