  Hot damn! Opened tonight with venison chops and spätzle, this wine sang: ebulliently fruity with dark berry fruit, vivid acidty, fine-grained tannins and, after a couple of hours, green olive goodness. All things in their place right now.

  This wine is really showing great right now. It's still powerful and structured (for a Texier Pergaud) but approachable and really blossoms with some air and some food. Dark fruited with black olive brine and purple flowers. Maybe it's the power of suggestion but I really sense the granite. More savory and earthy notes come out with air and the wine does relax even more. I think this is in a young window of really enjoyable drinking but will continue to improve. The shape and structure work so well with food, a joy to drink.

  Again, in a fantastic place. A touch of gane on the nose, then soft black raspberry and olive brime. Just beautiful on the palate, with more black raspberry. Softly textured, and so elegant.

  Raw meat, spices. Good acidity, rounded tannins, high concentration. Fruit-forward, blackberries, sweet cherries, pepper, raw meat. In a good place now.

  Bright ruby color with some savory notes to the dark berry and pitted fruits. The kind of leather strap that you can get with this wine. Not as open as other bottles I've had, particularly in terms of the fruit. I only had a bit and didn't get to go back and try it again. My guess is that it continued to open and will benefit from some age.
