  • Really pretty and lifted. Good freshness here. This will go for years. Next to the franc pied this is a little narrower and not as deep, but it dances.

  • Overwhelmingly funky nose upon opening. As it opened, notes of primarily raspberry with some blue fruit emerged as the funk subsided. Not as much green as I was expecting. Tannin present but integrated nicely. Drinking wonderfully right now.

  • In a great place, enjoyed over several days with no tiring. Fresh - dare I say crunchy? - fruit with moderate depth and some complexity. Palate-cleansing acidity, nary a sign of woodiness or 'green.' Really a fine package; these wines are beginning to compete, in my mind, with Burgundies as my favorites. How is Bordeaux thought to be better? Thank you RMP.

  • If I had reservations about this wine a year ago, I have none whatsoever tonight. The color of a proper claret, this particular bottle showed well and married perfectly with the meal. The nose is bright with raspberry, sandalwood, smoke and something herbal like soft, young rosemary. Every element of the nose is chiseled across the palate like a Rodin. On the palate the wine is balanced with good depth. The finish is not as long as perhaps I might like, but how ever wants to say goodbye to an old friend? Some sediment. 13% alc. With mushroom risotto under bacon and blue cheese - an incredibly good pairing. Recommended.

  • Quite interesting and complex nose of dark fruit, pepper, Cab Franc greeness, and spices. Medium+ tannins with more dark fruit, black berries, tart plum, and new leather on the palate. Good acidity and nice finish. Really nice wine, drinking perfectly right now -- not too young, not too old.
