January 8, 2021 - Mature but drinking nicely with notes of savory, earth, spice and dark fruit. Past prime by a decade but careful storage has made up for a lot.

February 12, 2018 - At this point in this wine's existence its solid savory with very little fruit (deep dark or otherwise) left. It works as well as it does because its very balanced with interesting notes of mushroom and forest floor. Easy to drink and pairs well with strong cheeses.

April 26, 2015 - Perhaps it's a bottle to bottle thing, but this one was mature, savory with nice fruit overtones. Balanced, easy to pair with dinner (Chicken Francaise). Not sure if there is much left out there in the world and not sure Alex offers this particular AOC anymore, but upon reflection this early effort is (finally) becoming something he can be proud of!

August 18, 2013 - Savory. Tannins smooth but tart acids play back against them. Mature fruits. Nice enough but time to drink up. This was never meant to be aged this long. Not worth the wait.....
