January 19, 2024 - Robe rubis, couronne légèrement plus pâle, Nez de cerise, de cannelle, de poivre blanc et de viande fumée. Bouche sur la cerise, épices. Boisé qui laisse un léger goût de rafle. Tannins fermes et légèrement asséchants. Longueur moyenne

January 14, 2023 - Besoin de temps en bouteille. Compact et assez tannique. On sent une belle matiere et un beau fruit fruit noir. Devrait se bonifier

December 3, 2021 - Definitely coming across more closed at this point in its life. Felt very Chinon-like with forest floor, firm tannic grip, pomegranate-like red fruit, and minerality on display. Tons of material and structure, just not as giving as previously. Hint of feral, smoky character on the finish.
Hold next bottle for 5+ years. For those interested in drinking near term, this is one that currently requires some attention to appreciate its details. -

May 8, 2021 - Le nez est envoûtant sur la cerise noire kirshé, la prune et des fines herbes. Attaque puissante de fruits noirs, encore très dense, mais qui passe rapidement à une finale astringente et austère. Attendra encore... Longtemps sans doute...
