February 13, 2024 - It took four days for this to reach a state of drinkability. Even then it had a ferrously bloody intensity that will take more time to abate. For the first three days, everybody who tasted the wine had a wincing, pained expression, and glasses were quickly set aside.

July 29, 2023 - Deep ruby. Pepper, blueberries, sage, earth on the nose. On the palate mefium acidity high tannin full body. Chocolate, black cherries, cinnamon. Very good wine, young but drinking well and likely to improve.

May 4, 2023 - Opaque ruby. Dark, intense, brambly fruit on the nose and a hint of something herbal as well. More of the same in the palate. Tannins tamed with a little air. As with others, this is my first encounter with Mondeuse, but I have two examples from France to try next. This is a delicious and well crafted wine that could stand in for a California Zinfandel at table.

March 13, 2023 - Have very little experience with this Savoie grape, if I'm honest. This might actually be my first pure expression. What a lovely encounter! Dark as the night, earth and fruit on nose. Slightly underripe lingonberry from my youth and black stuff, with he fine tannins of a wine of hundreds and hundreds of bucks. So elegant, but can still go fo years. I can't help but get Syrah vibes from this grape, maybe with a 30% note of Blaufränkisch or some other Austrian variety. Wow, just wonderful wine. So happy I got this as part of BD!
