Always a solid showing. Double decanted and aerated for 30mins thereafter, then we were off to the races! Medium acidity and great viscosity. Lavender and floral overtones on bouquet. Nice creamy buttery mouthfeel probably from malolactic fermentation. Raspberry, strawberry, and some gooseberry. Paired with lamb chops. A great QPR and a good go to wine. Just coming into the window. Recommend.

Dark purple bowl turning transparent on the rim. Tobacco, graphite, dark berries, chocolate covered cherries, plums on the nose. Palate is chocolate covered cherries, plums, dark berries, hints of spice and mineral. Medium plus tannins and acidity. Decanted three hours.

Requires decanting and even better some patience in the cellar as the wine felt a bit rough on the edges. Expected more from a 2015 and definitely a bit more fleshier fruit. Not sure if this was a bottle result or the wine for this dry edge to it. Felt like a 90

Great wine! Chocolate and plums on the nose, fruit and soft tannins in the mouth. Jummy!

Belle bouteille. Fruits noirs, the noir, tabac et truffe. Finale moyenne.
À revoir dans 2 ans.
