  January 5, 2016 - Confirme la degustation de 2014. Le vin est a point maintenant avec ses tanins parfaitement fondus. Une bouche juteuse de fruits noirs. Une legere pointe de poivron vert mais absolument pas desagreable. Dommage que cela soit la derniere de la cave!

  April 5, 2015 - Red fruit, and slight cedar and green pepper on the nose. The light to medium-bodied palate adds some spice, tame tannins and good acidity, leading to a medium finish. Understated, elegant, fresh, quite neutral, but well in balance. The neutrality and the priority of structure over fruit makes this an all-rounder with a large variety of foods. Drinks well now, but would probably still develop with time.

  January 31, 2015 - Certainly not a fruit-forward sort of wine, I think this might need another year or two to come together nicely, maybe even longer.

  September 23, 2014 - Nez sur la framboise et notes discretes de poivron. En bouche les tannins sont bien fondus et le vin est caressant. Bonne longueur, finale salivante. Assez surprenant apres des degustations assez moyennes sur ce vin jusqu'a present. Parfait a boire maintenant.
