Another stunner from Buffet in 19. Nose is super spicey and complex. Lovely. Really some incredible spice here. Asian spices, hint of wood spice and so much more. There’s very refined mid season cherry on the nose under all that spice but I think it will take a few hours to get there. Gorgeous stoniness as well. Wow this is lights out. Crushes 17 and 18. Now the cherry flower and mid season cherry voluptuous quality is coming out. Oh man what a palate. Just sweet, silky mid season cherry fruit and such wonderful roundness. Sick juiciness and so so pure. This is a smoke show. Complex and so sweet. This is silk. Substantial structure buried under that silk. Just an insane wine. Best Rougeotte ever. I think this is a 9.7. Wtf? What a finish. This is so fucking refined and so sweet and so luxurious. This is epic!
