July 21, 2021 - Blueberries and blackberries but no lift. Perhaps its past its prime but this was a grapey fruity thing without an edge or any focus. Easy enough to drink but not what I look or when I open a bottle of Chiroubles.
June 24, 2017 - Truly enjoyable in every way. Simplicity
January 16, 2016 - Inky purple. Cherry & black pepper nose. Lovely smell. Something bitterish too. Medium body. Sour cherry. Medium finish.
May 2, 2015 - Strong color, and pretty full body for Gamey and lots of fruit
April 18, 2015 - Again, this was crunchy and delicious and showed way better than two high end CA pinots. Lots of birght cherry and strawberry fruit, with nice acidty. decent finish.
February 24, 2015 - PnP through Nuance Wine Finer. Cherry, a little dirt on nose. On palate, tart red cherry, a little cola. Opens up with air. 87 pts. Aloha!
December 24, 2014 - Lovely fruit with a tannic backbone. Delicious.
December 21, 2014 - Deep ruby colored-.Nose of raisin, strawberrybut not jammy. Spicy notes clove and black pepper.Mediumbody with a slight leathery texture. Finish medium-long a bit of minerality in the taste
October 28, 2014 - Light and a good representative of this area
August 25, 2014 - Nice - bright fresh nose, cherry and notes of stems, juicy, soft cherry fruit, but with a spicy bite from the stemmy tannins. This is interesting with good acidity but tastes better than my note would indicate. Maybe leave the other bottle a year.
