Deep garnet color. Aromatic cherry, rose, forest/greenery, orange zest (almost like an orange liquor), perhaps lacking a bit of definition and power but very intriguing. Better with time in the glass. The wine shines on the palate, with sweet cherry, black current, bitter orange, a hint of vanilla on the finish. Very interesting, almost like a Grand Marnier profile. Perhaps a bit closed and may do with a few years for the next try. 93 with potential to go higher.

Deep brown garnet. Nose is ripe black cherry, wet earth, dewy forest, raspberry, leather. On the palate, medium to light bodied, beautiful cherry, raspberry, a hint of mild spice, freshness, juicy, medium tannins. Overall, super lovely, fresh, and delicious. With air, more powerful aromatics and sweetness on the palate. Would definitely buy again.

Color is straw. Solera of 2020, 2021, 2022; 100% Pinot Noir. Fine bubbles, medium length on the effervescence. Nose is a bit funky, with mushroom, a hint of manure, forest floor (still deciding what that means), and overripe apple. Not bad at all but definitely funky. The palate is really beautiful, overripe apple, lemon zest, fresh fruitiness. I think the solera method gives the wine a nice roundness. Looking forward to cracking my other bottles.
