  August 22, 2014 - The palate was more restrained than expected, but it had a solid backbone. Reminded me of a really good Chianti.

  April 16, 2014 - Pop and poured.
  Appearance is clear, medium intensity, light ruby colour.
  Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of mint and spices.
  On the palate, high acidity, medium- tannins, medium body, medium finish. Red fruit dominant, with flavours of sour red cherries and strawberries. Just a hint of slight under-ripe vegetal taste. Mild spice towards the finish.
  Somewhat Burgandian/Pinot Noirish, but not really there. Elegant but lacking complexity.

  January 31, 2014 - I served this in my wine course. Light and elegant. Raspberry nose, cherry in the mouth, good acidity with long finish. Very Burgundy in terms of the acidity and mouth feel, but without the earthiness.

  March 8, 2013 - It seems to me that this 5 bottles I have tried vary a lot.
  When they are good like yesterday, they are very fresh, burgundy I would say. Extreme bottle variation.

  March 6, 2013 - Very floral, rose petal, soft, pomegranate, very pale, good acid, a beautiful wine on the light and graceful side of things. Little tannin to speak of. A food wine.
