April 4, 2024 - Tasted at Convivial. Opening aromatics of leather, pepper, dark sweet berries with seductive undercurrents of ‘green’ that haunts at the periphery.
Palette, is med-heavy. Soft supple tannins, that engage the front and mid tongue. Sinking luxuriously into the middle tongue and front upper gum region. Acid is firm and gentle. Unravels into a sweet guava finish.
An hour on: acidity and body have integrated. Body feels medium. Acidity is bright. Vegetal and floral aromatics come to the fore. Jambi flavours still persist but structure is tighter and lighter -

December 16, 2023 - Oh hell yeah. This is outstanding and an even better showing than a bottle I opened back in Feb with Zach and Nick (see zachb's note). Showing some leathery and other savoury development around the bright, high toned red and dark fruited flavours, with that Cabernet Franc greenness very much there in spades and adding a lovely sense of freshness.

Pas encore prêt à boire ce 2009, les tanins pointus doivent encore se peaufiner, c'est tellement jeune! Solaire et frais, il ira loin...
Beau poivron rôti très CF, dimension végétale, c'est encore un adolescent.

March 14, 2023 - Wine Workshop: Focus on Clos Rougeard (Cafe Evergreen): Similar write-up to the one I had on the 2010. Interesting because while not the single vineyards this flight with these wines with just a bit of age was really something. Delicious. This had it’s own style of beauty. Darker fruits. Again that herbal and interesting. Really enjoyable.
