Walk around tasting. Tart and lean with good weight. Not my preferred style.

Walk around tasting. Bright and lean with enough ripe fruit. Fun and very good now with a finessed, long-ish finish.

Walk around tasting. Also fun and easy, this is rounder and softer than the Juillet-Lallement. Well balanced makes it easy to enjoy already now.

Walk around tasting. Rich and heavy in the style of Rhone whites, but I wanted more supporting energy.

Walk around tasting. Good depth for its level with equally good richness. Finishes with mineral flourish that is also slightly bitter right now, but I like this when it likely softens, 2025 forward.

Walk around tasting. Simple while pleasant aromas and flavors for young enjoyment. Good enough depth for its level.

Walk around tasting. Reasonably rich orchard fruit with good depth and balance. Good now, very good value wine.

Faintly reductive today, so tough to fairly assess.

Walk around tasting. Slightly reductive but accessible. Good combination of lean and rich with good length. Better to cellar another year or so, but this will drink well young.

Walk around tasting. Spiced red cherry, already well balanced and accessible with sneaky good length.

Walk around tasting. Very fun already now. Red cherry and berry throughout, faintly spiced. Fun start seems a bit simple, then more in the middle.

Walk around tasting. Red cherry on nose and palate. Good enough depth, but slightly tart right now.

Walk around tasting. More black vs red cherry with firm structure, especially in the middle right now, so not particularly forthcoming. Better 2026-.

Walk around tasting. Pure red and black cheery, nicely spiced and elegantly mineral textures. Well balanced and forward for the 2018 vintage with very good length for its level.

Walk around tasting. Also surprisingly accessible for an '18, with the depth and power I expected. Nearly balanced already with an expanding finish. 91+ point potential from 2026-.

Walk around tasting. Reduction made this to fairly assess, but there is a lot of pure black cherry here with impressive weight for young Barbera, so I am optimistic.

Walk around tasting. Fun and balanced, but on the simple side. Good now.

Walk around tasting. Rich, black, and meaty, very Napa with a slightly warm finish.

Walk around tasting. Wonderfully rich with red and black cherry and very good depth, all while nicely balanced already. Silky, long finish. Very good potential.

Very big. Ultra rich, modern, oaky, warm on finish. A style of wine I can appreciate others like, but is not to my taste.

A few bonus bottles post-tasting. Losing steam as its freshness fades. Still hanging in there.

A few bonus bottles post-tasting. Lean lemon and green apple with some lean, grassy notes characteristic of Aligoté from this lean vintage. Good length, nicely bright.

A few bonus bottles post-tasting. Great nose. Spiced black and red cherry are very rich with a firm mid-palate for now, Very good length. This needed lots more air, certainly better from 2029- even better yet from 2034-.
