March 31, 2021 - Complex aromas of Morello cherries, lilacs, incense, and cedar. Medium to full bodied on the palate with dark cherry fruit, dense and delicious and salty, soft tannins smoothly integrated, a rich gilding of acid framing the aromatic finish. Wise and balanced with age but retaining great power.

December 23, 2020 - Fantastic. Drank well from PnP and over hours before, during, and after dinner. Out of the gates with cherry tobacco, smoke, sweet wet aged meat, sois bois, dried rose petals, developing over time to show leather, dark cherry, sweet wet leather, a touch of caramelized fruit, and revealing some rust, and iron. Intense and deep on a sturdy, invisible frame. Medium-long finish.
Very good pairing with a mushroom and lentil pasta dish. This would work well with mushroom dishes, including porcinis, with duck or quail. So nice!
This was the lone bottle of this wine purchased six years ago in a $250 "take it on faith" mixed case. What a winner it's been. The hits keep coming!
Edit: Wondering why this is the last vintage from this producer, I discovered that this remarkable winemaker died tragically shortly after the 2010 harvest. RIP.1 person found this helpful Comments (1) -

June 28, 2020 - Aromas of dark berries, black pepper, briar bush, roses, and fragrant soil. Penetrating fruit on the palate, generously sweet and salty with integrated tannins, lovely peppery aromatic back note moving into the singing acid finish. Excellent with skewered breaded shrimp a la Marcella Hazan and buttered asparagus.

June 30, 2019 - Fine savory aromas of black cherries, mushroom, sourdough crust, roses, with a fine base of cedar. Dark concentration of salty fruit on the palate with an acid laced aromatic spine at the back. Difficult to think of the right food pairing, perhaps a gruyère soufflé or roast duck.
