Right away I’m hit with a rush of red fruit aromas, strawberry and red cherry, damp earth and crushed grape leaf. On the palate the fruit comes on sweet, but is followed up with some citrus-like acidity and pleasant black tea bitterness. The wine is wispy and delicate. I will probably drink my other bottle of this before I go back to my ‘17 & ‘18.
Tasting the ‘19 next to the ‘18 would be a good lesson in vintage variation.

This was really good and in a great place - my recollection was the herbal vintage, more restrained, but tonight the kaleidoscopic fruit profile came through. Maybe it gets better? We like these at release and at 3-4 years of age.

Really in a good place, fresh and perfectly balanced. Wish I had more but this was my last bottle.

expressive aromatics. Herbs de provence, cranberry to underripe strawberry, granite minerality.
Very lean and ethereal. medium+ to high acid, very fine and subtle tannins.
No “it” factor but very well made wine, clean and pure, and quite burdgundian.

Light ruby color. Violets, cranberry and cherry fruit flavors, bits of earth and spice. Appreciated the low 12.8 and this was soft and elegant.
