Decanted two hours.
I was curious! Obviously young. Dark fruit. Black cherry. Crushed gravel fireroad at night. Midnight roses. Bramble. Fresh pack of elementary school pencils. Appreciating the evolution of depth in the glass. Suspect this is better day two at this age, except the bottle is empty. So there you go. Quite nice. Needs time.

Medium ruby. Bright, savory dark fruit, beautifully balanced, with a suggestion of salinity, and nice acidity. Very enjoyable at this early stage over three nights, gassed in between.

From 500 ml bottle. This wine is a light pale, yellow color with a tinge of green. The nose is quite fragrant from the start. Very white peach and stone fruit dominated but evolving with, pear, white florals, light herbs (tarragon?) and lime. The acidity is bright but not bracing and the mouthfeel is elegant but richer than the color might indicate. The palate reflects the nose with a wonderfully long distinctly lime and mineral finish. Beautiful wine! This was a very nice compliment to a Thai pineapple shrimp dish.

tried this new bottle for kicks, it appears to have all the characteristics of a great chard, tho at this point a little over-powering... depth, acidity, lemons galore, a hint of spice / other complex flavor... if we're smart we'll let this one sit for 7-10 years or so... thanks goodness that "premox" is (mostly at least) over... NR cuz so young but 93-94 pt potential with age

Reminds me of a mix of Riesling and Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Very fruity, with notes of tropical fruit, pineapple, banana, grapefruit and peach skins. Secondary herbal and vanilla notes too. Fresh, crisp and tasty. Very good now and I don’t see how this will improve.

Medium light golden. A suggestion of chamomile, backed up by a pleasant hint of Stone fruit bitterness. Quite enjoyable over three nights.

honestly this might have been -- in its infancy when tasted -- 94 pts... this had the lift and brightness and also some real depth / oomph that makes an epic wine... for that to be substantiated we will have to wait at least a decade... but this is gonna be great / fun to drink all along the path (assuming this bottle was representative)... WOW!!!

This is a really tasty wine with so much potential. I think i opened it too early. Very bright, cherries, pine, earth, a hint of espresso and mocha with a touch of hay. Very enjoyable but I am saving my other bottles for a least a couple years. Heavy tannins on the finish that will hopefully moderate with time.

A bit young but with some decent decant time really does exhibit a lot of promise. Quite opaque ruby yet swirling lighter in the glass than you'd think from appearances. Black cherries, bramble, vanilla, cocoa dust, magic marker on the nose. Carries over on the palate smooth as velvet, brilliant acidic middle pop, then a nice long lush and spicy finish. Only going to get better. Lovely all around.

Some flinty reduction on the nose to accompany yellow orchard fruit. Bright zesty acidity on the palate but with good fruit density. I took like the balance here. Drinking great now with some air.

Color: light gold
Nose: lime zest, fennel pollen, wet rock, toasted nut, Marseille soap
Palate: high acidity here and a very crisp and refreshing palate. Medium body. Barrel influence much tuned down versus what I've come to expect from Rhys. This has a very very nice peach and some canned pineapple in addition to confirming the nose
Finish: medium

This is the best Alesia bottle I've ever had; balance is impeccable and this is great now but no rush at all. I wonder if I can get more. 1 hour of air and cool room temp did the trick for me

PnP then came back to it a couple of hours later
Way too young at this point. Floral/red berry nose but still very tight. Will hold the rest of the 375-6pack for quite some time
