We decanted this and served as our red with dinner for Nana's birthday (she mostly drank the Chablis). Needed about 30-min to open up in the decanter. Dark, cloudy, crimson color. Bio wine made in the style of Lapierre or de Villaine and quite a good effort. There was a nice supple texture that outweighed the still-in-progress palate on this tasting, so this will be best 2024-2030. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 92.

Mainly Oregon (Noizé): Light cherry to ruby at the rim. Richer and fuller on the nose again, though not as much as the 14. Strawberries in the red fruit mix, a reasonably savoury spine and bright finish. A little more grip on the finish. ****

Wow. So dense and fruit forward it drinks like a Cab. This is a really good bottle of wine. Pairs well with heavier foods
