  First bottle from a half case purchased en primeur from the Dutch importer in 2019. Not decanted, opened two hours in advance. Single vineyard, a south-facing parcel on granite in Quartier de Reynard, old vines (80+). Youthful appearance, hardly any evolution; ditto nose, very primary, still a bit closed, crushed red berries, chalk and flowers, hint of black pepper; energetic and compact palate, full-bodied (14% ABV) and concentrated but fresh, powdery tannins are firm but well-managed; tight and youthful, stony finish. Much more masculine and structured - and in fact completely different in style from - the more basic Granit 30 and Granit 60 wines from the same producer. A beautiful wine, but in reality this powerful stuff needs another 3-5 years at least. Score based on potential.

  Intense and perfumed nose with some barn notes. Silky soft tannins on the palate and a very nice, concentrated fruit. Long finish with stony minerality. Very enjoyable now but will for sure hold a decade or more. Delicious. Need to buy another case or two and put in the back of the cellar. 92-93P

  I had to see for myself. I thought it would be way too young, and I was right. Very primary and dense with dark cherries and florals and gripping tannins-a mouthful. Not unpleasant by any means, but I’ll let my remaining bottles sleep for a couple of years.

  Dark ruby with garnet edges. Complex aromas of black plums, lilacs, raw meat, malt chocolate, a hint of vanillin oak, a pinch of salt. Concentrated dark fruit on the palate with a dense winding saline character, medium + acids, strong tannins, mostly smooth with a bit of grittiness, medium alcohol, long aromatic finish. Good complexity with a bit of crunch and some lovely nooks and crannies, integrated and balanced flow from start to finish.

  Notitie consistent met die van 06-03-2022
  Aangenaam, boersige neus, wat hoekig in de mond, niet groots.
