Wednesday, July 27, 2022 - Opened several hours ahead, then decanted as we drunk it over several hours to help it open.
Drunk alongside the '11 Bonnes Mares
A lifted, lovely, red fruited nose with flowers, a little loam, and then there were the green meanies. On the palate, it's seemingly light to mid weighted, but intense, with "push you over with a feather" power. Graceful and filigree fine with a cashmere like softness on the palate with more rose, cherry fruit, and sadly distracting green notes. It's lithe and playful, understated, fleeting, and graceful; and if it were not for the green meanies, this would have been fantastic. Still outstanding and then some, but it could have been marvelous. 92
