70 Points

Monday, September 19, 2022 - Clear, very pale tawny onion skin color. Rather earthy on the nose, with gentle hints of caramel, smoke, and dried dates. Retains some substance, you can feel the Brunate power here, this is pleasant, a touch simpler than the Grignore but also a touch less oxidative. A little apricot fruit graces the palate which is rather skeletal and built on assertive acids. Less gong for than the Grignore 70-72

After 4 hours:

Has picked up the slightest pink glow. Deeper and earthier on the nose, laced with autumnal scents and hints of limestone. Almost like a rose at this point, kind of pleasant with nice minerality and fleeting glimpses of red fruit. 71

With dinner:

Bright and fresh on the nose if mineral and predominantly dried underbrush notes on the nose. Theres so little here but at least it’s not overtly oxidized. This is an xray of a wine. 70
