May 1, 2024 - Good brick red color and soft bouquet. Drinking very well for its age. Good fruit still coming through with long palate and good tannins. One of the top two red wines at our wine groups tasting last night. Needs at least 2 hours of airing / decanting before optimum drinking.

January 25, 2024 - Deep garnet. Very pronounced nose - dark berry fruits, black pepper, leather, earth, some game hints too. Rich on the palate but with a nice balancing acidity that keeps it fresh. The tannins are evident but ripe and support the texture very well. Long finish.
Interesting to try this after a very good 2015 St Joseph from Domaine du Tunnel. This was much the bigger wine but the the St Joseph was more elegant and classical. Both lovely in different ways.1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 10, 2023 - Opened and let it breathe for 5-6 hours. Purple, supple and full-bodied. Really nice Shiraz. My guess is we’re at or near peak. I don’t see any reward for waiting any longer.

Fruits noirs, tannins rudes, graphite/minéralité +, c'est pas proche d’être prêt a boire.
Dans l'état, je ne suis pas un fan, attendre 10 voir 15 ans.1 person found this helpful Comment -
