Very good, tasted at the farm with B, L, V, david and P. Pure raspberry fruit with pepper. gamey mouvedre characters - still tannic but has smoothed out and definitely has a French qulaity about it - though again, it is no Beaucastel.

With K and Miranda at home at dinner (pizza). Black cherry color. Quite dark. Good legs. Deep ripe nose, with licorice notes. On the palate, it is pretty tannic and even bitter, though there is fruit lurking., Much bigger and earthier than I remember. Certainly more time wouldn't have hurt. 5-9-13-7: 84/100.

With Bruce, K and Miranda at home at dinner (burgers). Dark ruby-purple color. Attractive, with fine legs. Smells of fruit, with complex nuance of black pepper. Firmly structured, well-balanced, with lots of fruit. Excellent flavor. Dry and has tannins, but tastes great even now. Excellent wine. 5-10-16-7: 88/100.

With everyone at Jeff Glick's going away at Square One. Dark magenta. Effusive, unabashed fruit on the nose. Good palate, lots of fruit; minimal tannin. Drinking very well, great balance. 5-12-15-7: 89/100.

Tasted at a party. Elevated tannins, good structure, less flesh than I would have liked - too young but offers no competition to Beaucastel.
