Mint, bramble and cherry on the nose. Stony, fruity, tart and juicy palate; some chestnut and pastry dough. Sapid, complex and full of pleasure.

Stunning drop dead nose. Wow. Stunning cherry flower. Insane mineral that is so clean. Smells like pure beautiful rocks. Quarry like. Red licorice. Just a heavenly perfume. So classic and old school and so clos Des chenes. Sappy mid season cherries as well. What a palate, amazing inner mouth aromas, such finesse, sweet and concentrated blackberry and black cherry fruit. Fine grained tannins. So elating. Long finish with permanent staining blackberry sap and juiciness. Really incredible balance for such a large framed wine that is also so delicate. What tannins. So fine. So detailed. There is such freshness here. Perfect marriage of 18 and Buffet style. Amazing raw materials here and sweetness of fruit. So so elegant. So young and so deep. This is a 25 year wine easy. Will be back once it airs. Spectacular.

Needed about 3 hours in decanter to open up. Intens nose of cherrie and dusty oak. Palette is persistent and balanced. Loving this.
