    July 12, 2022 - Lots of WOW factors. By no means a celestial wine but massive and explosive. This one dominated La Tache 14.

    July 12, 2022 - 一个小时后,醒酒器中的酒液,闻起来出现一些酸枣和山楂,结合之前的果味,华丽感和庄重感初具规模,萦绕着果味周遭,工整地排列着草本、甘草、木质香料的味道,结合得很紧密,很有力量感的一握。入口显得更为扩张,尤其是左右,口感也密实且精细工整,然同口腔的触面温和绒绒。草莓、红樱桃、树莓和红醋栗等红果味变得浓缩,带果浆质感,同玫瑰大道沿着口腔一道深入喉间。
    两个小时左右,闻起来更为舒展,似乎渐入佳境,原先的那种严肃感慢慢化开于红果、玫瑰和奶香中,后段的香料和草本中多了一丝高级皮具的皮革味。口中单宁依然层层叠叠,喝起来有刚硬感,单宁略带温柔,刚柔两个维度开始建立关系,似有贵族气魄。
    两个多小时,瓶中的酒液则更具华美色彩,点缀着点紫罗兰和檀木的香气。
    四个小时后,瓶中的酒液,闻起来有很具肌肉感的红果和红花,像是着华铠大将军,还有些奶糖、柑橘,后段的香料很细碎,似有若无还有一丝奶香爆米花味,有些铁汉柔情的意味和涵养。入口则很通透,单宁虽然仍旧层叠,但是那些细粉的质感似乎互相渗透而光滑起来,此时,力量感、华丽感和优雅三个维度已经达到了平衡,扩张感和纵深感都达到了一个很高的层次,非常有空间感的构筑,填充满了各种红花、红果、香料篆上的花纹,收尾的檀木香更予其深邃。
    到了第八个小时,瓶中的酒液刚一闻到真是不禁惊呼一声,大气磅礴而又精微无缝的花果香,这是何等风范,它已蜕变为一位成熟的君王,有气势,又是从容而胸怀百川。我第一时间想到他行进于开满玫瑰的美泉宫花园。入口亦然,原先的各种滋味都结合起来,何其宽广,上下、左右和深度似乎都在无边延伸,等你回过神来,单宁已经占据了口腔,花果香极其工整富丽,优雅通透至灵,如映入泉中,如此胜景。而随其深入,微微带凉的老山檀、红木、细碎的香料和一点点森林感,交织在一起,将口中的空间感拉得很深。99/100

Reminds me stylistically of the '90 as I feel like this will be more about the purity and richness of fruit vs. layers of complexity (though of course that may just come with time).

    June 24, 2021 - Ruby color with a touch of orange on it's rim. Drink right after open, lot's of red fruits, cool purple fruits, spice, little bit tertiary aroma. Very concentrated and balanced but feel tight on palate.

    After bottle decant for 1 hr, some mineral and earth, It started to show the complexity of flavor and the delicate velvety tannin.

    Then after 2 hrs, perfume like rose, flower, earth, mushroom. Great acidity and tannin lead to great structure and vibrancy. Very pure and elegant at the beginning, and gradually opens up its power to us. It became more pronounced, more deep, more broad and rich, but still little reserved on its palate.

    This bottle is easy to approach, but should still wait for few more years. Looking forward to have it again in the future.

    October 9, 2020 - Decanted only 1.5hrs.
    Roses, raspberries, plums, crushed stone and with some vigorous swirling revealed some textbook Gevrey character.
    Plush and expansive on the palate, red, purple fruits, some wood and a hint of leather on the finish.
    Weightless and long...Just a baby but somehow approachable today.

    WOW this is a Rockstar!

    July 15, 2020 - For context, I had this after one of my all time favs, the 2001 Leroy Richebbourg and it was a stunning example at that. Having come down from that rarefied air, this thing stood right with it. Every bit as ethereal as the Leroy but without the mellowing effect of age, very attractive nose, another wine you don't need to drink to enjoy, there is a lot going on, the depth that you can only get a glimpse of today is positively astounding. This feels like it will be better than the 2001 Leroy Richebourg when it comes of age. On the palate, you immediately sense the silkiness of the tannins before even the taste, the way it coats your tongue. Insane! loads going on behind the dark berries, spices, but only hints. this thing is going to need time and I'm looking forward to seeing it through the phases.
