  Dark ruby red, reductive nose, hints of bacon fat and earthiness yet so tightly wound. Quite different from the Dr Briccou which we had tried several months earlier and loved immediately. More relaxed the second day yet needs either more time and/or decanting.

  Dark fruit driven. Clean enough not to offend me. Solid, wouldn't hold for long though.

  Minimal nose. Interesting combination of Beaujolais freshness with smoke. Not super complicated. Perhaps not worth the price but I enjoyed this.

  13.5% abv. NOSE: inspiring sincerity in invitation. Inky cascades of fresh black berries. Bones entwined with flowers (deadhead aesthetics taken to an extreme of accomplishment.) Plum. MOUTH: a sweet subfloor surrounds the drink at a striding pace. There’s a lone fracture of peanut, and then its gone, overwhelmed by aerated releases of flavor more vinous. The event of taking a drink swells gradually with flavor and texture, until a breach: edges of black, ash-dry tannin surrender in a weightlessly thick juice infill. The mouth-filling frame of flavor is decorated around the edges with bespoke selections of spring herb, salted roots and peels, and juniper. Expert acidity is relevant, and submerged. The finish is teased with a thread of succulent spring herb fronds.
