  November 22, 2021 - Upon opening, Peter Althaus’ deft hand is immediately evident. Cassis, lifted acid, fine tannins and subtle oak. It’s the same classic story, told in a slightly different way. Peter’s early drinking style is looking great, now more than a decade later. 14% ABV. The Diam cork soaked almost to the end would suggest now is the ideal time to drink. 91+ points.

  August 7, 2021 - Drank this with roast lamb. Still some soft fruit there. Very nice. Possibly on a downward trajectory but a lovely drop.

  November 8, 2020 - My last bottle and even more enjoyable than the previous. Fully mature now. Further to my previous note 3-4 years ago, tertiary now added to the mix. Some sweet tobacco and leather coming through. The a-typical Domaine A leafy/herbal streak is there, and I love it, though I dare say a good number of people wouldn’t. To each their own.

  April 1, 2018 - {diam, 14%} Rather similar to last year's bottle. Ripe but twiggy and a touch herbal. Soft dusty tannins. Medium weight. Perhaps a hint of tobacco too. Decent palate coverage. Perhaps a little anonymous. Very very drinkable and probably at peak, although will hold a while. Lacks the concentration of the flagship bottling.
