Deep translucent ruby. Nose of darker but ethereal violets, dense fresh-cut berry, fine earth, hints of camphor. Layers of drenching raspberry and Bing cherry fruit salted with evenly matched tartness and deep iron-inflected sweetness on the satiny palate. Fresh acidity and firm tannin. Long finish of rich echoing berry, fine dusty earth, and iron filament. Continued beautiful evolution of this wine with more to come.

Dark fruit on the nose with some cocoa and forest notes. There is a bit of a stony minerality as well. Juicy on the palate with some savory nuance and that bead of stone going through to the subtle tannins on the finish. You get the sense of the elevation of the vineyard at the top of the combe, I think that perpetuates the juiciness. In a good place now and should continue to drink well for a decade, I think.

This is progressing beautifully. Vivid ruby color. Cherry and red berry fruit with an exotic mix of cinnamon and earth. Some black tea as well. The vintage does well for this vineyard which shows its typical stony quality but is buffered by a bit more heft. Fully satisfactory - has a good ten years of drinking in front of it. Great purity.
