In its peak window. Tertiary and sauvage aromas with a bit more fruit on the palate. All in balance with medium pls finish. Yum.

Very tight on pnp. Day 2 it really started to show its stuff. Leave these alone another 5+ years.

Great freshness and feminine in style. Some fruit but more floral with great tension and mousse. Really enjoyed this but not certain it’s worth the price.

Beautiful fruit and structure. Balanced, primary but accessible if that’s what you like. Delicious.

A powerful nose of rose petal, cherry pit and turned earth. The palate had a more raspberry fruits, hints of leather and tar and dark chocolate. Med plus acidity and medium plus finish. Wine had great balance and showed really well tonight but has many years ahead, enjoy!

In the zone, drinking well. Enjoy!

I don't think I need to add anything more than Rocknroller. It was fantastic and the only nit was that it was a touch linear but that may be more of the vintage than the wine. Lovely and peaking, enjoy!

This was beautiful. I don't know that Chablis could be better. It was mature but fresh. Lemon, brine and caramel. Over time brighter tropical fruits emerged. At its peak and delish!

This is drinking well off the pnp. Mineral and lifted, great on its own.

Gave this about an hour decant. It was showing so well. Last pours the best. Structured with sappy fruit but fresh. Long finish, this has many years ahead.

10/20/2023 - Rgentile wrote:

Hanging in at its peak (similar notes as last bottle) and should for the next few years but no further development on the horizon IMO. Enjoy!

Dark fruited, savory with nice acidity. Primary but open to try, I enjoyed this.

This bottle lacked any mid palate structure, soulless. Drink up.

My first 21' here and wow it was just beautiful!

Still chugging along here...Integrated oak, plenty of fruit long way to go. Delish!

This needed about an hour of air, slow ox to start to strut. Once it opened it was very nice. A solid villages but nothing really stood out for me.

9/15/2023 - Rgentile wrote:

A perfumed nose of dried cherry, rhubarb, earth and forest floor lying below. The palate showed more tertiary, the beautiful forest floor with little fruit. Still possessing juicy acidity and with about 45min of air in the glass the wine filled out nicely. This is in a great spot and I don't see more development here certainly peak if not just over the crest. I would say drink up over the next 2-3years.

Revisit here, primary of course but so easy to drink today. Lovely stuff.

Much better showing today than the initial bottle on release. Delicious wine. showing ripe orchard fruits with a beautiful level of acidity, more upside from here. 92+

Very pretty on day 2! let these sleep for 5 years.

7/19/2023 - Rgentile wrote:

With about an hour in glass this was quite stunning. Just starting to turn the corner from its youth and head into a long 2nd life. Dried cherry, with a hint of sous bois and full of minerality.

integrated and just entering its primary drinking window.

Punching well above its weight!! Beautiful depth, tension and balance. QPR here is off the charts!

5/30/2023 - Rgentile wrote:

Mini vertical, 19, 20 and 21. This was my 2nd fave. Needs more time to round out for sure but it has great tension and fruit. Should have some big upside with a few more years!

Full body, ripe and shocking it was disgorged in 2022. This was yummy!

5/30/2023 - Rgentile wrote:

This evolve over a couple hours in the glass. Dark fruits, hint of spice, great saturation of the palate but light on its feet. Classic... 2 years prob entering its peak.

Really like what’s here, should improve over the next few years.

5/17/2023 - Rgentile wrote:

Drinking really well right now. Needed about 20-30 mins to open up and then it was delicious. Matchstick, popcorn kernels with ripe fruit. Concentrated but maintained great tension. I would say in its peak window, wish I had more, yum!

5/15/2023 - Rgentile wrote:

1hr decant. This is showing well already. Primary dark berry fruits but the tannins are suave. I touch drying in the finish with no perceived heat even with the listed 15%abv. Has mid (5-7yrs) cellaring potential for sure but fun to drink if wanting to explore its infancy.

This has put on some weight! Deep red fruits, a hint of earth with a nice mineral streak. This has a long runway. Yum!

This was so pretty on the nose on PNP, floral, rose water and cherry. Carried some similar aspects to the palate. However after 60ish minutes the aromatics faded and the palate was thin and lifeless. Either this shut down and disappeared or there just wasn't enough here to begin with. Unsure...

Back cherry fruit, some funk and wood with balanced acidity. Yum!

This is young and primary but so juicy, pretty and restrained. Pleasure to drink!

Straight splash decant and this was quite nice this time. Cherry and earth with great acidity. Yum!

Pnp at cellar temp. Mouth watering acidity and lemon fruit. Yum!

Really liked the material here, will seek out again and the Brunello.

2/16/2023 - Rgentile wrote:

Typically one of my favorites here. The wine has cranberry, blood orange and rose water. The acidity is crisp for sure but it’s lacking some additional depth that it typically has that would lead me to believe it doesn’t have some aging potential. No fire damage at all but the pick may have been too early. Near term drinking and may be best with a slight chill in the summer. Wine is correct but an atypical vintage here for sure.

2/10/2023 - Rgentile wrote:

This wine is still showing some dark fruits along some cedar and pencil notes but lacked acidity. I think this is on the decline.

JohnLi's note is spot on, drink up.

2/10/2023 - Rgentile wrote:

Notes are similar as before but it is gaining in body and better...this is flat out gorgeous!

2/7/2023 - Rgentile wrote:

PNP. Lemons and orchard fruits, mineral and a touch of sea foam. Elegant and racy this was a baby puligny. Well done! This has entered its peak window but should hold here at least 3 years. Enjoy.

2/7/2023 - Rgentile wrote:

Slow ox'd the wine a couple hours. On initial pour it was ready to go! The wine had a more feminine style, with more red than dark fruits. great acidity to carry the wine across the palate finishing with some cedar notes and a hint of dusty earth. No over ripeness here and absolute peaking. Should hold for a number of years but why wait?! Enjoy!

2/5/2023 - Rgentile wrote:

The wine just didn't offer as much as the Bruma along side of it. Similar in many ways but with more violets and plum fruits. A bit shy tonight even as I followed over 4 hours.

2/5/2023 - Rgentile wrote:

First one...Savory quality with dried herbs and some tapenade. The same quality came across the palate with some dark fruit. Integrated and balanced. Can be enjoyed now or in 5 years. Great cool climate syrah!

Quick note: Blood sausage, umami, olive pit, velvety tannins. Very good!
