Very youthful right now but such a kaleidoscope of fruit and floral notes, with a bit of earthiness really drawing it into substantial complexity. The palate is wound up, with the oak showing just a touch proud right now, but darn, the stuffing is all there.

Eucalyptus nose right off the top; chocolate and something more. Good with steak. Gassing half bottle so will add tomorrow but think it’s growing into more

Rubis foncé, touche de mauve. Le nez est boisé, complexe, tabac et fruits noirs. La bouche est soyeuse, jeune sur le bois. Il n'a pas totalement digéré le bois et on sent le potentiel.

One of the best Père de Famille I had. Very "French" in style. So good that we opened a second bottle later that night.

A step up from the Clos this year. Toasty oak, raspberry, violets, and graphite. Long finish and great balance. This will age elegantly.
