  February 21, 2021 - We had a short decant window of 40 minutes which wasn’t enough for this beauty.
  Stringent tannin, still taste the beautiful fruit from the merlot grape. Nicely structured. The balance was in the wine but it really needed a longer decant.
  We had the wine with a great friend.
  Should be drank with a great steak.

  March 6, 2020 - Note: I took Afrin first, as I was getting over a cold, and it shot my palate. I could barely taste or smell. But this helped me pick up on textures.
  
  Color was dark ruby/garnet. Translucent. This had a brightness to it. There's plenty of acid in here, and it's medium bodied. All I could taste was gravel. Having had this wine before, I know what's in there and that there's plenty more to it, but this just wasn't the time to open such a beloved wine. My bad.
  
  But the next day, I was much better off when I finished the bottle. Fruit forward, some dissolved C02 in there with some signs of carbonic maceration, and the fruit was red berry and plum with a bit of evolution. There's a mild tar component too, and of course, that gravel. Overall, a fresh wine in an atypical style that shows innovation and restraint (it's not a carbonic crunch bomb).

  December 3, 2019 - Il semble être en phase de fermeture actuellement. Mes notes sont comme il y a 5 ans, mais tout est plus discret. Concernant son potentiel de garde, il me semble bon, mais le 2005 et le 2016 me semblent avoir un meilleur potentiel encore. Le temps le dira.

  June 9, 2019 - Beaucoup de variation en bouteille? La
  Mienne était superbe. Beaucoup de concentration de prune, mûre. Le tout est bien fondu dans une trame dense et fraîche. Les tannins sont assouplis et forme un ensemble très harmonieux. Beaucoup plus aimé que la première.
