  Drank as part of a Zoom Apéro with my friends in Nice. Decanted and the nose brilliantly exploded out -- earthy plums, vegetal, and herbaceous aromas initially followed by light notes of cherry tomatoes and oregano. Began drinking at the 60 minute mark and enjoyed over the subsequent two hours. Very light on the palate with soft tannins and rich cherries, strawberries, and plums that layer into an extremely savory and long (60+ seconds) finish. Mirror image of my 11/14/2020 tasting. An absolute gem of a wine.

  Decanted and the nose exploded -- Earthy, vegetal, and herbaceous out of the gate followed by light notes of cherries after the initial waft. One hour in, very light on the palate with soft tannins and rich cherries singing that layer into an extremely long and enjoyable finish. The complexity of the wine is drawn out when paired with spicy meats -- lush soft strawberries and plums linger lovingly in a finish that stretches for conservatively well over a minute. Soft, lightly sweet, and delicious more than overpowering this wine grows in stature at hour two. A real gem with many more years of life in the bottle

  Seriously nice, drinking well. Very alive, perky , fruit forward, medium length. Classy, earthy, soft tannins, at the very beginning of it drinking life.
