April 28, 2023 - Really enjoyable. After a first bottle that was quite tired, this one was a fully mature and integrated wine that was really enjoyable.

November 11, 2020 - For the second time in a few years, tasting partner fooled me into thinking a bottle of this was burgundy! Very floral, roses and violets; succinct, fresh and delicate. No garrigue, no character of Rhône varietals. Easily passes for burgundy. 92+

August 9, 2017 - Tasted blind: Bricky color of age; beautiful nose of aged red burgundy but the palate doesn't match up(?) Wonderful surprise to see what it was. Guessed the vintage right but entirely wrong region of France!
