5/7/2022 - BAJRiley Likes this wine: 92 Points
Deep red cherry hue. Nose: peppers/capsicum, strawberries, raspberries and some blackcurrant. Nice perfume. Palate: medium bodied. Decent finish that is bright and tingly. Nice wine.

Enjoyable wine that is a good representative of it's terroir. Well balanced, aromatic and rich.

12/6/2019 - Raage Does not like this wine:
Un nez sauvage de prime abord, fougueux, animal, pas ostensiblement typé CF… outre la légère réduction, il arbore un nez végétal qui annonce dejà une certaine rusticité tactile.
En effet, la bouche offre du volume, du gras, mais le vin manque d’equilibre, c’est un peu chaud, astreingeant, serré, « rustique »…
Paradoxalement, le nez semble indiquer un vin presque nature, un peu libre, pas trop cadré, autant la bouche va dans le sens contraire…
Peut-être à retenter dans 2/3 ans?
