February 5, 2023 - Another poor bottle. Still got medicinal nose with harshness on the taste. At best uninteresting . Hard to imagine this ever coming round to anything like what you would expect from this producer/ vineyard

August 22, 2021 - Mycket biffig för att vara en pinot noir. Skulle nog tippat på chateauneuf du pape eller annat sydfranskt om vi provat blint men så var ju 2003 ett mycket varmt år. Fortfarande mörkt granatfärgat med aningen blå toner. Mer än medelfylligt med bra grepp i de finkorniga tanninerna. Plommon, körsbär, aningen fat. Mycket lite av ålderstoner. Maffigt.

March 5, 2021 - 1 hour breathing upon opening serving into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Leaf” day): Pale garnet with some fine deposits. Powdery cosmetics, liquorice, savoury spices. More secondary fruits like red prunes, then cherries. Very much fully resolved oak.
Well integrated but slightly less about acidity. Good amount of suave tannins. Good length too.
No need to wait. 93-94 points more towards 93 points.
Second round: more evident VA on nose. More evident on the jammy and ripe cherry fruits which suggests a riper and older vintage. A little clumsy in structure but enjoyable. -

November 11, 2020 - I have tasted c4 bottles of this wine over 5 years. They have been awkward and unapproachable to say the least At last , this is a bottle to take pleasure in. Let’s hope the remaining bottles are in the same space! Good balance and nose with decent length.

March 19, 2019 - Have opened a few of these in last 2-3 years. They have been very disappointing. Awkward, closed and strong medicinal nose/taste with some bottles. This one was better although it took at least an hour to get past an initial awkward phase. This wine is hard work. Will give it another year
