I know we all talk a lot about what Kagami is doing at Domaine Miroirs and we kinda forget about the fucking king of the mountain is still around. Intensity and energy. Hyperdrive accelerator. Big structured wine with jagged acidity driven texture. It’s a whole mouthful of wine but with energizer bunny going around the walls. Drinking fantastic right now.

Initially started fairly waxy and reticent. Didn’t have my hopes up. But a hour in the wine kicks off its slippers and showed us it was DTF. The salinity on this wine is incredible. Usually salinity to be has a bite but in this case texture wise its akin to a high sodium content water - it has a salty thick profile. Then an exotic citrus note that goes beyond the standard lemon medley with a gentle acidity. Wow what a wine.

juicy juicy juicy. Oceanspray bottle popped and poured with vibrant tiny bubbles that bring that sparkle. All about that cran-do attitude. Very open and giving right now. Seems to be in a great spot to drink.
