Opened and enjoyed over a few days. Very solid, dusty core of cherry, red rock dust, wild brambles. Neutral and velvety and in a good place. Will udpate more.

Had this immediately after a good Saint-Joseph, and it was a real eye-opener. Great nose. Black and blue fruits, with a ton of pepper and a hint of herbs. Very rich, but not too heavy, and it had a very good finish. Bright and vibrant, it's no imminent danger of heading downhill.

Not Earth-shaking, but solid. Blueberries and mesquite. Medium body - light on its feet, not a ponderous, high octane fruitbomb. However, the nose, the flavors, and the finish were all somewhat reticent. A nice, old world-style wine, but one that would probably be overwhelmed by rich or grilled foods. Probably time to drink up.

Took to a party, so no detailed notes. Blueberries, with a hint of citrus. Solid, but not mind-altering. May be in a dumb phase or may be headed downhill.

Solid wine and outstanding price point. Drank after the Pax and it was more fruit focused with less intensity. Not near as complex, yet still a great wine.
