  so I did throw it in, blinded, amongst a bunch of burgundies, and no one was really fooled. The body is too big. really smelled amazingly floral and agricultural; complexly perfumed. Hold 5+ years to develop additional complexity. If not mistaken i believe this 45% Grenache , 45% very old vine Carignan 5% Mourvèdre 5% and 5% Syrah.

  This cuvee got on my radar when David Schildknecht likened the '07 to La Tache. Not that I really have a good sense of what La Tache tastes like myself, but it was catchy enough to draw me in at the time, and I was not disappointed. the '14 also does not disappoint. the nose is of red fruit and fresh straw,. In the mouth it comes across and fresh, light, and spritely but then doesn't stop talking. An impressively long savory finish with nice framing tannins round it out. I'm happy to have more bottles of this and will sneak this into a future event to see what burgophiles have to say.

  Pretty animal nose, on the palate red fruit, mainly cherries, the animal notes have disappeared, very pure, mineral and quite light, delicious with a piece of deer meet.

  On voit rapidement l'influence du 45% carignan dans ce vin, ce qui est malheureux pour ma part... Beaucoup de finesse dans le fruit et les fleurs présentes, mais aucune complexité, j'aurais à faire avec une bouteille à 50$ je serais satisfait mais 125$can, c'est du vol.
  
  2/5

  surprisingly pale colour , cherry red
  Very perfumed nose, wow!
  Firm tannins, serious and rocky on the palate and then creamy and textured. Fascinating wine, changes in the class, poised and elegant.
  V. good
