March 12, 2023 - Joli nez de cerise kirshé, de pruneau avec un léger tabac. Fondu, encore de la cerise, du pruneau et du tabac. Finale sur une pointe astringente. De belles notes d’évolution sur une trame assez légère..

March 27, 2022 - Montre une belle évolution. Nez sur le cuir, les épices et une trame de cerise noire (voire prune). Fondu, suave, bel équilibre. Du fruité avec de belles notes secondaires. Encore du chemin devant, mais sans doute ne se bonifiera pas davantage.

December 6, 2021 - This was ready to drink. Tannins were mild, not as fruit forward that I expected, more on the medium body. Not sure I'm going to add to my cellar at this time.

October 14, 2020 - Pleasant enough as an everyday wine, but nothing particularly memorable about it.

September 16, 2020 - Medium garnet with tiny particles of sediment – red cherry, soy sauce, graphite, loam, black cherry, black plum, dark spices. Medium+ acid, medium+ chewy tannins, 13% ABV, medium body, medium intensity, medium finish with some bitterness. Drinking nicely now but can still age. Paired well with Hamburger Sausage Soup.
