Nose: midseason cherries. Spice. Maybe cloves.

With air some savoriness, lilacs. More Burgundian.

Palate : sweet midseason cherries. Hint of licorice. Bracing acidity.

In an odd place now. Not showing it’s usual exuberance. Let’s see where it goes.

Magnificent.

Nose: floral but elegantly so. Lovely. Yellow flowers. As this opens a white and yellow flower melange. Really close to burgundy weight and elegance wise. Really. Close.

Palate: delicious. Fine minerals. Touches of stone fruit. Great balance. Peach pit. Lovely sprightliness. Magnificent.

Long elegant finish. Mineral. Hint of brine. Almost chablisien. Mountain stream.

Everybody loves Sebastien Dampt.

You just can’t own enough of his wines.

Nose: a beautiful perfume. Ocean air. Lemon flower.

Palate: so clean. Mountain stream infused with elegant lemon. Sweet lemon

One of the more restrained Lechets. Classic. Very well made.

Man. Our customers are really missing out on brunello. This is lovely. As aromatic and nuanced as very good Northern rhone wines. Just a different character.

Nose: very lithe lilacs. As this opens a hint of game. Sexy.

Palate: texture is so silky. Perfect early to midseason cherries. Not at all heavy. This is high altitude Brunello. Juicy. Hint of Sangiovese spice. Maybe a hint of black pepper. As this opens more hidden density and just an expensive taste.

Sensual but classy cling on the finish.
