My last bottle and while pleasant I don't think this has really become anything interesting or will ever get there. The nose is of tar, twizzlers nibs, star anise, and alcohol. The palate is elevated in alcohol, with a fair bit of tannin and acid. 15% declared on the label. A good, well made wine, but just never really became all that complex.

Best showing yet. Love the vibrant red berries on the nose, along with violets, coffee, leather, grilled herbs, earth and pepper. Tannins still strong but accessible, acidity is bright, and the fruit (cherries and plums) is juicy and delicious. Complex elements of pepper, leather, broth, clove, black tea and anise come out, much more so on day 2. This is so, so good, and drinks like a CdP multiple times the price point of this wine. Last bottle - damn!

Nez bcp plus intéressant que la bouche.
Un superbe rapport Q/P malgré cela.

Nice nose of red berries, mineral, raspberries... tastes very mineral, red crispy berries, very fresh and feminine
