  September 25, 2023 - "By such baubles are men ruled" - Napoleon. This also applies to me. Give me an attractive label, or a curvaceous woman, or a guitar through a wah wah and with plenty of distortion and I have no real critical faculties left. It is a pity but there it is.
  
  And so we have the secret of my morbid fascination with this maker's wines. These are really crack addict whore wines but whilst this should be a deterrent, it just drags me in tighter. I love the label on the bottle. It sets me up for what follows; surely it is the short dress and boob tube.
  
  Huge fruit - verging on baked and certainly jammy. Double E slamming. I have to say blackbery more than black currant, the volume is definitely 11 on the Marshal stack and we have it all - wah wah, feedback, crashing drums and thudding bass and really huge gazongas sans bra. Tannins there be but they are swallowed alive by the fruit. There is a surprising degree of freshness but don't tell anyone because this is all about being buried alive in the blues.
  
  I always have this when I am having home made burgers or else a spicy BBQ. It is great. Not wine to think about. J. Geils Band - Bloodshot or Full House. ZZ Top - Eliminator. Crack whores united.

  February 12, 2019 - Très bon, encore beaucoup d'avenir devant lui! Malheureusement c'était la dernière de mes deux bouteille. Bu la première en 2013 et le vin était très peu expressif. Noix de coco grillée à l'ouverture (bois) et ensuite un beau bouquet fruité. Pour un vin de cette gamme qui a 10 ans, c'est impressionnant... wow
