  Dark and brooding wine with lots of plum and dark cherry notes in a little bit of camphor on the pallets. Medium minus acidity with a decently, medium long finish taste sweeter than it actually is but still a very enjoyable drink. Drink up within the next few years.

  This is developing well. Seems to have softened nicely. Sour cherry and spice nose. Great balance of ripe fruit with a suggestion of cranberries on the palate and finish. Excellent.

  This was extremely appealing and drinkable. Linear, but well-balanced and quenching, almost crunchy. Good red and dark fruit with some scattered sour notes and bitters in an earthy tone throughout. Drink 2023-2028. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 94.

  soft fruit, spice, a hint of herbs and a floral nose. Long finish ties it together. A nicely balance wine. Excellent. Improving with time.

  Tasted via Corivan alongside the Les Clous front the same year. A rich, ruby red color. Glowing and very pure. Some subtle aging on the edges. The nose is very open and flamboyant; perfumed. Lots of fresh red berry fruit, some spiced cherry, and kirsch like notes as well. High toned floral notes and lifted. On the palate, this is medium bodied, with a soft and silky texture but gains some roughness on the midpalate and finish. The fruit is consistent with the nose. Quite balanced but with still quite significant tannins (but they are ripe and integrated even now). My only real criticism would be some dryness on the back of the palate and a slight bitter taste on the otherwise long and enjoyable finish. This is really impressive and enjoyable right now.
