Alcohol :: 12.5% honey, dry fruits, mineral with touch of roasted grassiness and dry sherry like aromas ad palate profile with good mineral complexity and citrus, lemon infused flavor that coated the palate with almost creamy texture and lengthy finish that's linger with mineral and oak aftertaste, quite heaty too. Maybe additional bottle age will do some good for this. Buy - No.
Light golden color that seems not developed much, just like a 2000s. Pop and pour and the bouquet was already lovely, elegance and seductive. Expressive, gentle, perfumes aromas of floral, fresh cut grass and green herbs complexity over smoke, fresh honey coated ripe fruits: citrus, lemon, guava with mineral infused, the aromas itself is absolutely top class and with time, red apple aromas evolved. Palate wise, it was quite soft on the entry with richness and intensity build up along the mid palate and finish, and it was really powerful on the finish with mineral aftertaste. With more aeration, the almost crisp mouth feel turned to creamier, richer and fuller. Very complete from the entry till the finish, seamless I would say, with really good intensity and depth, though not really highly complex for the flavor spectrum. Fresh, precise and detail that leads to the focus, delicate medium length finish. Very good and for the youthfulness that it showed today, this will only get better with additional bottle age. Buy - Yes.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Alcohol :: 13.5% Dark brick core with light brownish hue. Expressive and aromatic, though not super attractive as the dark floral, blue Pinot fruits, earth, leather and mushroom aromas all wrapped under the roasted aromas which I don't really flavor, as it seems lack a bit of the freshness and definition. The palate is showing better though, fresher, good grip with flavor of Umami, red and blue pinot fruits over roasted herb and mineral. Rich and fullish mouth feel, rounded, with ripe tannin and acidity, though I do not really favor of the roasted aromas that seems lack a bit of freshness and definition here, but overall this is a good wine that is almost mature with decent lengthy finish. Buy - maybe.
