Insane bottle and needs a lot of air to show its best at this point. I poured a small glass from the bottle, then left it in the fridge for 3 days. It has Rousseau-like pure brambly dark and blue fruit. Leroy-like inner mouth perfume, but not as stylized as the Leroy aromatic profile is. Hopefully the coming vintages are as good as the first.

Darkly, burlier expression of gonon. Delicious and complete. I will say that it doesn't have a burst of red acidic fruit on the mid palate like some vintages do. This is definitely on the more stern side, but a very successful wine that will age well.
