This is so seductive. Smokey, granite driven nose, loads of mineral and floral as well but at its heart it’s super stoney. Just gorgeous aromas. Palate is so so elegant and beautiful, with lovely sap and depth. Really fresh with an explosive finish. Super sweet berry fruit that i has a tiny berry fruit intensity. So pure and accented with intense granitic expression. This is stupid good. Wears it’s 14.5% very well. Long finish. A baby but super impressive.

Lovely Cote Rotie even if unremarkable. Some good dark fruit followed by a spicy finish. Correct but nothing special.

It’s getting there. A few more yrs and the baby fat will almost be gone. Nuance is just beginning to show.
