  Drunk with pan seared duck breast.
  Good classic Bordeaux, getting into drinking window in my view
  Pleasing acidity, classic dark fruits and some well integrated oak. Not showy, but good.

  Blackcurrant, blackberry jam, a hint of vanilla and some smoke on the nose. Likewise on the palate with quite good acidity, medium body, modest tannins and medium length.

  France Trip; 6/29/2023-7/10/2023 (France (Paris, Burgundy, & Champagne)): Great wine. Lot of fresh fruit. Clearly a high quality second production from a top wine maker

  Beautifully crafted with nose of dark cherries, black fruit, some light tar and black pepper. Elegant and retrained. On the palette it’s nicely balanced with more classic finish. We love this kind of wine. Still very young and primary but approachable. Will just get better. We paired it with Southern Rhône regional cheeses and enjoyed it the middle of the night. Half bottle.

  Dark red fruits, espresso, plums and smoke on the nose. The wine is elegant, fresh, forward and easy to taste, finishing with sweet, ripe, red fruits and a hint of oak in the soft textured, bright, endnotes. The wine was made from a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon.
