March 27, 2024 - Really delicious. Old leather glove filled with flowers nose with a bright juicy palate. Upon PnP and to 2 hours post it was gone between my brother and I (with the wife taking a half glass) enjoyed with a spicy jambalaya. That's saying a lot to say it held up quite nicely with it. One more bottle which I will dread but enjoy finishing in the next year or two. Got 15s waiting for me tho!

January 5, 2023 - Slow ox'd for a few hours. Elegant, very well-balanced. Nose indicates good age; palate is very dynamic, the fruit and acidity affecting the taste bud regions so distinctly. Finish is long and satisfying. Great time to drink. Probably will finish the next two in the next 1-2 years.

October 21, 2022 - Short decant. Was much better the first night. Bright fruit and a nice balance in the mouth. The brightness was gone on night 2. Still a nice drinking wine but don't let it sit. Drink up.

January 9, 2022 - Assez musclé et structuré.
Sur les prunes, la fraise, le poivre, les herbes
et la terre. Les tannins sont serrés
et la finale assez longue nous laisse
sur des relents de minéraux.
