Big time alpine nose. Fresh flowers, herbal scents and lively minerality. Black and red fruits. Layered, expansive and penetrating nose. Lovely. Palate is juicy but super dry and tannic but lovely fruit. Think I might need to wait this one out. This is day 2 as it was super closed yesterday.

Aug 18th, 2023Nose starts out very quiet. Some alpine scents, some some cherry and black cherry, tree bark and very intense minerality. It’s holding so much back aromatically. Palate is a stunner. Superb concentration and sap. This is a gentle giant. Awesome fruit soak. Just so compelling. Startlingly pure. Incredible minerality and just the cleanest Pinot you’ve ever tasted. Incredible palate. Just a small hit of opulence and then leans into the minerals and the linearity. Superb tannins and perfect balance. Awesome structure and sap. Wow what a finish. Best version of this ever. Amazing wine but as it airs it youthens up. I’ll be back as this evolves.
Nose coming around now. Floral, jelly donut filling, late season cherry, some black cherry.
