  December 2, 2015 - Unplanned Nicolas Potel Session (B&B Parkway): Pop and poured. Drank over 30mins.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, garnet colour. Legs.
  Nose medium intensity, bretty with aromas of barnyard, leaf litter, tea leaves, sweet spice. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, medium acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium tannins, medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of earth, tea leaves, some red cherry and savoury sour cherry. Medium+ finish.
  Well done to have survived this long. +1.
  Acidity going down, intensity suffering, and fruit fading soon. Drink up now, unless you are looking for very savoury aged juice.
  Cork says Andre Chapelle.

  November 7, 2015 - This has a bouquet of red currants, cherries, floral and some savory notes. It attacks the palate with notes of dark fruits, roasted figs, coffee beans, forest floor with sweet but strong tannins that provides a solid grip to the firm structure and ends with a long umami finish. This has some real verve and muscle to it. Not bad for the price.

  April 24, 2013 - Aged Cedar wood with undergrowth damp mushrooms and spicy flowers. Lots of damson and savory sour cherries. Due to drink.

  September 1, 2012 - Initially some Brett on the nose. After it dissipated, bright red fruit showed up with red cherry and cranberry, with still some lingering forest floor and mushroom as well. Earthy finish lingers for a long time.
