Just a terrific nv entry level cuvee. This rested a year in my cellar after release and it benefited from that. Powerfull drink. Goes well with food. E.g. Cod, bacon, peas, risotto.

Purple color, slight watery edge. Nose is fresh with cherries, strawberry, spice, leather tobacco. M+ acidity, m+ alcohol, m- tannin. Closed palet upon opening. More expressive after a couple hours of decant. Good energy but fruit is coiled up. Putting remaining bottles to sleep until its 10th year. 94+

Nose shows significant signs of aging. Coffee, cocoa, dried yellow fruit. Distinct oak element. Palet is fresh with a tight citric acid core. Drinking nicely, and this degorgement date is not getting any better imo.

Very juicy and fresh. With a hint of age showing on the nose. Dark and solid. Tannins are still a little tight, but I think that its a good drinker now.

4h later. Improved greatly. Showing more integrated. Might still be open for improvement with time. 94+
