  June 17, 2020 - not overly fruit bombish...bright strawberry, kiwi, rhubarb...integrated...subtle.

  June 27, 2014 - Distinctly corked. Which is a shame because I do not believe I am overly sensitive to TCA. At least I have one more bottle.

  February 10, 2014 - I guess fruit contracts come and fruit contracts go but Auteur stays. But snide comments aside, what is in the bottle doesn't suck. Still has that sense of plushness from Auteurs of old, yet with a good strong tannic back bone. To my palate, more balanced. And on the structural side of intensity. Fun to drink, all concerns aside, and frankly, much better wine than I am making it out to be.

  January 23, 2014 - Complex nose with a bit of caramel, red berries, and earthiness. On the palate a wonderful mixture of cherry fruits, light spice, and a brightness with a medium finish.

  May 7, 2013 - Wonderful nose that jumps out, cherry and other layers. Nice lightness on the palette, could have more layers, but the cherry notes are delicious. This could have development coming that is indicated by the nose. Second taste a little more is there, slight heat in a good way.
