  This winery is right in my 'cheese house'. It's always a little more herbal and a little more spicy and darker fruits that sometimes come through but sometimes are overtaken by the rest. I think a bit more cabernet franc than some others. This was just drinking great. It's classic and structured and solid and while this might not have been the easiest year to make wine I think they made something that has really stood the test of time. Very enjoyable.

  Managing to avoid the pitfalls of the difficult 75 vintage, the medium-bodied wine is one of the more elegant, expressions of the vintage. Roes, red fruits, mint leaf, tobacco, spice, and earth combine perfectly, leaving you with a lifted, earthy, leafy, and red-fruited finish. Drink from 2023-2030.

  Drank at 67
  Faded on the nose but a joy on the palate

  Lovely condition with prominent fruits. Old leather, bellpepper, dried berries, sweet prune and fig, tobacco, truffle and undergrowth. Still with confined structure and good mid palate intensity. So smooth. Fantastic.
