Surprised that this is drinking so well. The heat others mentioned has subsided. Big ripe fruit and tannins and opens up nicely. (Opened with Coravin drank it over a couple of days.)

A nice franc, but not worth the $. Still, the $ is gone, and the wine is here, so might as well enjoy it! A bit hot too me, but good varietal characteristics. Lacking much tannic structure or depth of flavor profile.

Still very youthful and vibrant. Lovely brambly and black fruit with softened tannins.

Best bottle yet, last of 3. Still hot, but the fruit was big enough to make it worthwhile.

Excellent without a decant but with an aerator. Smooth finish and great tannins. Only negative is it's awfully expensive for what it is.
