  This wine was a delight... ample-bodied with beautiful fruit. Just a touch of Brett-y funk which gave this a much needed-edge. The acidity and tannins were pretty calm by this point. And while I think this wine has peaked, I suspect it has another year or two.
  
  By no means a “grand vin,” I found this bottle to be balanced, interesting, and above all delicious. I liked it so much I snatched up a 2016 I saw recently with high hopes for the future!

  Full bodied, with ample tannin.
  This should continue to develop for a few years.

  This is nice right out of the bottle but continues to improve for a couple of hours.
  Black fruit with a layer of cedar/graphite on the palate.
  Medium tannins, medium acidity.
  Nice finish.

  Bois neuf, cèdre. Fruits noirs, légèrement oxydés. Réglisse. Manque de définition, mais charmeur. En bouche, concentration, tanins fins, équilibre basé sur l'acidité, limite un peu dure. Un vin agréable, mais pas représentatif des plus grands terroirs bien sûr.
