Very nice again. Just such a pure beam of dark red and black fruit in a silky smooth, balanced package. The finish is long and lively. Just a beautiful wine. Only loses points for not much complexity underlying the fruit.

Building complexity over the past 2 years. This is rich with great minerality and a long lively finish. Earthy, flinty and tobacco shine through. From a 375ml bottle. Needs about 2 hours of air to round out and obtain better balance.

From 375ml bottle. All about the pure beam of fruit and the nice balance. Smooth, rich mouthfeel that is light on its feet despite its richness. Not much going on beyond the fruit. Delicious but not a complex wine.

Bought this based on JD review at a great price. From 375ml bottle, this was a generous, delicious young wine. Very much in line with Jeb's review. Compared very closely to a 2016 Le Petit Vice that I drank alongside. Inky, rich fruit (blueberry, plum, cassis) with nice notes of chocolate and some vanilla. All about the fruit as no real secondary complexity. Nice nose.
