  100% Pinot Noir
  
  Dress already evolved.
  
  Magnificent evanescent nose on yellow fruits, a hint of ginger and spices, apricot and cinnamon.
  
  Palate with magnificent maturity and depth. It's vinous with great complexity already, all served by a tracer and integrated acidity like goldsmithery. Nuts compete for the scoop with apricot and then blend into a set of sweet spices such as cinnamon and ginger. Nice saline finish on a vinous length.
  
  Excellent champagne which demonstrates the full extent of the talent of this estate which is the rising star of the moment in the region.

  Barolo gathering at Officina (Officina - Washington D.C.): Beautiful harmonious palate displaying subtle sweet yellow fruit, apple pie, apricot, ginger candy, cinnamon, spicy spices and limestone. Nicely integrated palate, subtle sweet yellow fruit driven palate impression, very fine medium generous mousses, bright acidity, strong limestone mineral and a long sweet yellow fruit and ginger candy driven finish. Showing exceptional balance and harmony. I am loving the rich yet airy palate. The palate reminds me a bit of Cedric Bouchard. Drinking beautifully.

  Great showing, much better than a few years ago. Vibrant yellow fruits and a very strong saline and chalky element all throughout the wine. All tensile energy, there's years ahead here.

  Vindredi (Bellevue, WA): Rich and lovely with great acidity, fine bubbles, and rounder fruit on the palate. Really nice!

  Drank it at Chef's table in Brooklyn Fare, NY, before Krug Grande Cuvee. For me suprisingly the winner. Fullbodied, elegant, both herbal and fruity, citrus notes are dominating and refreshing, sharp acidity giving him a great backbone, very nice at the moment but I think very or even more enjoyable over the next 10 years, very special and as often mentioned a great vintage 2008, 93-94
