Red fruit on the nose, dense, highly promising. Hint of spices. Fresh, defined, powerful on the palate. Fine, integrated tannins at his point, very nice. I really like the wine right now...hard to wait for another 10 years, which one probably should. Happy to have bought en primeur, given steep price increase since.

Great, very approachable, highly enjoyable right now. Jammy, fruity nose — dark berries & cherries, hint of cassis. Fruit continues on palate, jammy texture, I’m a fan. Light on tannins, might still age well, but big fun right now!

Disappointed, not in line with expectations, given other comments. Nose flat, no hint of anything, really. Body medium, slightly acidic. Thought it might have a defect initially...but perhaps it was just me today. Second bottle very similar.
