  June 23, 2009 - Nice pesticide/boxwood thing on the nose. A bit of sharp spring onion/chives/green garlic. Raspberry (very hair berries) palate. Soft finish.

  April 26, 2009 - Very red-fruity with with cherry predominating. Decent acidity, very light tannins. A pleasant drink, but nothing special.

  April 24, 2009 - Recommended by Laurent Chapuis at Princeton Corkscrew, this bottle cost about 17 dollars. Opened and drank immediately with Ed and Norma at Ferry House. A bright red color with wonderful perfumey nose. Plenty of fruit and complexity on the palate. A rewarding drink to the last drop! I asked Laurent to give me 2 to compare in the 20 dollar range, at different ends of the specturm of big vs lighter. I am going to buy more of this!

  December 11, 2008 - Tasted side by side with the Gasnier 07 Les Graves. This wine had a bit more depth, a bit less fruit and is a slightly better wine, but not by much. Similar dark red color, but translucent. Nice nose with vegetal notes and fruit. Good in the mouth and a nice finish.
