June 24, 2022 - Nez de fruits noirs, des épices, une bouche assez dense, de belle texture, d’une insolente jeunesse, bel équilibre, magnifique. 93-94
Dark fruit and spices, the palate is dense, great texture, good acidity, very balanced, feels so young, gorgeous. -

March 14, 2022 - Lovely fruit, floral and persistent. But still quite tannic. Best left for another year or two.

November 12, 2021 - Still has tannins and a good amount of red fruit. This is on its plateau for likely another 5 to 10 years.
