April 7, 2024 - AW93. Beautiful nose of redcurrant, cherry liqueur. Less perfumed and violet that I know Isabelle wines for. Medium finish, delicate but still full of abundant red fruit, some orange peel. Always a real joy and interesting to taste this vintage and at this stage of evolution.

October 7, 2023 - Just a bit of bricking on the rim. Exquisitely seductive sweet nose of treacle, fudge, strawberry and just pure magic. What a gorgeous and loving wine. Beautiful soft, silky texture, endless seduction. I struggle to tell the difference between how I feel and what it is, objectively because I love it. I just love this wine.

June 3, 2023 - Fresh and fragrant strawberry and red cherry on nose. Dry, crisp acidity, soft tannins, palate follows through with hint of oak. Medium body, good balance, medium minus finish. Fruity, simple, linear.

July 18, 2020 - Another CHL Wine Night!: This left an impression, coming after 2 burgs. More power and fruit forward. This is in a nice drinking spot, and should improve over the next 1 - 3 years. Enjoyed this tonight! 92/93
