  Very good but still needed an hour of air and raspberry and earthiness come through
  but truly not more than 89-90

  Deep, dark, clear garnet color. Piercing pomegranate, mulberry, and raspberry notes on the nose. Delicious notes of mulberries with a hint of coffee on the finish. Raspberries, powdered sugar, vanillin are in the mix as well.

  This was really good. Nose has mid red berries, but also some floral elements, hint of forest floor. Palate is fresh, initially mid red berries, some blueberries as well, but evolves on the tounge, adds a hint of iron as well as darker fruit. Satisfyingly long finish. Evolves quite a bit in the decanter as well, initially primary fruits, but adds complexity after an hour + in. A lot of good things going on here. Really like how the freshness of the wine meets the complexity of the palate. In its window for sure, but still feels like early days to me.

  Done as a pairing for duck confit with a white chapoutier les granits ‘13- probably unfair as that clearly outshown this as a match- it’s clearly in its drink window but likely early and no rush.

  Solid wine. It has one, not multiple, layers, with a richness that lasts about 10 seconds. A bit of tannic residue remains, but this is now mostly mature primary fruit. I'd rate this smack dab in the heart of its primary drinking window. In a vintage like 2011, will phase two in 5-10 years be better? For my money and remaining five bottles, I'll bet on the present over the future, and save the 2010s for later. BTW, a one hour decant seemed to hit the spot, without much improvement thereafter.
