This really needs decanting, preferably at least 90 min out of the bottle, Pn’P doesn’t work. Once given some time it evolves into a nice wine. Nose is ethereal, but rich at the same time, dominated by black cherries. On the palate soft and fruit driven, but nicely balanced versus soft tannins and some acidity. Fruit is mostly cherries, but of the dark variety, not sweet. Not picking up even the slightest hint of barnyard/manure. Ultimately a good wine but can’t say I feel it is good value.

Similar to other Vougeraie I've tried, mixed dark and red berries. Very mature in character for the vintage with wet leaves, manure, earth and some meaty notes. Slightly out of balance and manure like scents are over the top.

Perfectly balanced! Nice strawberries and vanilla. Just the right spice of tobacco and barnyard. Medium finish. Love it
