La Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin (Vancouver) - Halloween Soiree (Hawksworth): Light red in colour. Tangy red fruits along with meaty and earthy notes round out the nose showing more Gevrey character than the Estournelles. On the palate more tangy and pungent red fruits with a softer mouthfeel but excellent acidity and a fresh and tart finish. Like the Estournelles, this needs a few more years. Excellent. 90+

La Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin (Vancouver) (L'Abattoir): Light to medium red with slight bricking at the rim. Excellent nose of red pinot fruit, earth, tobacco with hints of spice and sweet funk. This was fresher and more structured than the Estournelles with fine and firm tannins, solid acidity and light to medium body. Very well balanced and in a great spot for current drinking. Finish is medium in length with nice cherry flavours. Excellent.
