December 1, 2023 - Most open of the Brune/Blonde flight. Library leather with a somewhat clipped finish, from memory. Not especially memorable but a good intro before the Ampuis and LaLaLa flights. 91-92

November 11, 2023 - Excellent nose, very elegant and easy drinking. I lack vocabulary for this wine, but this is on top of my list. Happy I have more, maybe a year from now, to see if it has evolved - but it is not too young at all right now.

February 10, 2022 - Benefits from an hour decant at least. Meaty, smokey nose. Fine tannins, juicy red fruits and smokey bacon flavour. Good length too. Could hold for a few years at a minimum.
