November 9, 2018 - Very elegant style here with pale red fruits beginning to show some complexity; licorice, cinnamon, leaves, whiff of onion compote, celery salt, smoke and game come through in a very whispy fashion. Fine tannins. Appears to be drinking quite good at the moment. Not sure about long term aging. Who knows.

November 9, 2018 - Tasted blind: Having a bit of a head cold (and probably operating at 80-85%) this was the perfect wine for the situation! Effusive nose of dried cherry and cranberry with strong autumnal underpinnings (something I pretty much never find in a younger wine); guessed this to be 10 years older than it is; that enchanting nose just gushes with fruit, some blood iron character and black tea. So fresh yet starting to show some secondary development's on the way. I consider myself now educated on what 80% whole clusters can do! WOW!

December 2, 2017 - Wines with Salil et al.; 12/1/2017-12/3/2017 (Chicago, IL): Incredible nose -- this is so, so pretty. There is such insane crystalline purity of fruit and flower here. This is a wine with a very light touch, and showing incredibly well. It's a lot cleaner than than 2008 Lafarge Ducs that I had a week(?) ago, as well, as well as a little less advanced. But the palate is a little thin and shows a lot of acidity and tannin. Delicious and gorgeous now, if that thinness doesn't bother you too much.

December 1, 2016 - Intens markjordbærfrukt etter 1,5 times dekantering, bringebærtoner etter 2-3 timer, jord, krydder, fjøs, strålende lengde, elegant. Flott vin.
