  Have had this quite a few times over the last 3-4 years and it is really fantastic. Very elegant wine, well structured, super balanced with lovely purity. Drinks well now but can lay down for another 7-8 or so easily. 92-93pts

  Popped and poured, then refrigerated the remaining part of the bottle for the following day. This is a translucent ruby wine with essentially no sediment. On the very pretty nose, I get damp earth and leaves, a mixture of wild red berries, cherry sauce, and cranberries. The bouquet is marked by a wonderfully focused yet changing display of impressions. In the mouth, this is a crisp wine characterized by an earthy-spicy mix with underlying medium red fruits. The finish is chewy, with good length and some spice inflection resurfacing. Overall, I found this very enjoyable. It’s probably on the young side, but is a quality NSG that should continue to show well. 92 points.

  Clean and transparent. Needs time.

  The nose was earthy and rich, with dark soil and floral undergrowth turning to plum and crushed cherry. On the palate, I found soft textures giving way to ripe, fleshy black cherry, inner floral tones and earth. As the Les Damodes moved across the palate, it firmed up, adding a sense of refinement, and finished long, with palate-coating dark fruit, soil tones, and minerality.
