found my old note from 2012 vintage of this wine, created in 2016. Fun to see picture from 5 years ago and label evolution. Name of Chateau was more exposed vs AOC name today.
Wine itself - great quality and taste especially for just base Villiges appelation. Typical mix of red fruit with delicate mushroom, earthy fragrances/flavours. med- body and tannin on slightly higher medium, but leaving mellow feeling acidy. Finish is refreshing like crushing pomegranate with hint of seeds bitterness

Ha ha strong tongue punch after 3 weeks of water wagon. 16% ABV, botrytis wine. Smth for Winnie the Pooh, Honey , acacia blossom, apricot, elderflower, butterscotch (can that be oak ageing?) Sweet wine but with fresh taste due high acidity, pronounced nose and full body - heavy weight but with ballerina lightness feeling. Not very complicated in mouth, balanced - not too sweet - powerful aperitif with damn 16% ABV!

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike. Bicycle! ! Medium (-) bodied, pale ruby color blend. Medium (+) acidity with soft medium tannins. Nose feels more promising, red plum with cranberry & sour cherry and cassis, wrapped into smoke & tobacco. Hint of herbaceous capsicum. Mouth is simpler, it’s juicy wine treated delicately by oak and slightly balsamic finish. Should be perfect with some uncomplicated, light dishes - pasta, pizza, or just with hard matured cheese like I’m doing now.
