Served Blind. Slightly golden color. A lot of lemon on the nose with wet rocks, lightly toasted nuts, and smokey oak. Creamy on the palate with huge mineral backbone. Long finish.

Served Blind. A bit tarter yellow citrus fruit on the nose than the first wine with much more minerality. Bright yellow fruit on the palate with great acid structure. Lots of mineral with a great finish.

Served Blind. Very pretty red fruits with a lot of wet stone as well. Rose petals. A slight green note, perhaps from the stems?. Very lush palate, great texture with good minerality. A terrific wine.

Served Blind. Very sappy dark red fruits. Briary. Pretty violet aromas as well. Lots of intensity; almost CA pinot like. Great ripe fruit on the palate with still a lot of elegance. Great acid/minerality balance. Gorgeous.

Served Blind. Somewhat dried red fruits. Confit red cherry and rhubarb as well. Decent on the palate with a lot of acid. However fell apart quickly in the glass.

Served Blind. Sappy pure red raspberry on the nose with a bit of herb. Moderately ripe palate with a good bit of acid and a decent finish. Became very syrupy after 1/2 hour in the glass.

Served Blind. Intoxicated red fruit and berries on the nose with some blood orange and iron. Great fruit on the palate with a beautiful texture. Nice spice as well. Very well balanced acid and minerality. Lengthy finish. An outstanding wine. Surprisingly the best of the flight.

After this disappointing showing of the 01 Amoureuses, we decided to pop this '02 that someone brought as a bonus bottle. A good deal of funky red fruit on the nose with some dark spice and minerality. A good palate, but not as good as expected. Not a fantastic night for Amoureuses.

Served Blind. Dark red cherry and cranberry on the nose with a ton of minerality. Good palate, but perhaps a bit lean. Very surprised when I found out this was the Amoureuses in the flight. Other bottles I've had of this have been much better.

Served Blind. A very pretty mix of red cherry and flowers with just a hint of greenness. Good ripeness on the palate with perhaps a touch more acid than the others in the flight. Nice finish. Showed very well.

Served blind. Faint aromatics of pure red cherry and berry, but perhaps a touch shut down. A pretty violet note as well. Very ripe on the palate with some nice minerality. A solid wine.

Served Blind. Briary red berry with some good earthiness. Beautiful palate - sour red cherry notes with good spice, great texture, minerality, and finishing acidity. A very nice showing.

Served Blind. Very primary dark red fruits. Tons of minerality with good fruit on the palate, but I have a feeling its not showing all that it can be. Really love the mineral backbone and acidity. Great stuff.

Served Blind. Very elegant red cherry with nice floral notes. Some sappy fruit on the palate, but perhaps just a bit thin. Some woodsy notes on the palate. Very nice spice and acidity on the finish. Absolutely lovely.
