  June 30, 2023 - A massive brett bomb initially, but this settled down with time in glass and was tasty and complex w mixed olives, red blood, meaty minerality.

  December 18, 2021 - A lot of funky brett aromas here. But these are well integrated with lovely Côte-Rotie aromas like black olives, ripe strawberries, bacimycin and wet forest floor. Alltogether a powerhouse of seductive aromas. Soft, light weighted and elegant on the palate. No signs of oxidation, like some others have experienced.

  June 18, 2021 - Funky Côte-Rôtie som er veldig vill ved åpning, nesten perlende. Interessant duft av lær, dyreblod, krydder, røyk. Druetypisk men det ville preget dominerer. Flott syre, puslete struktur ellers. Fremstår usedvanlig lett, omtrent som en cru beaujolais. I særeste laget

  December 27, 2016 - From memory. This time made sure to get the right temperature and give it a 1h decant. This one was probably closest to my 14.05.2016 bottle, though slightly less lift (and my expectations were probably higher this time..). Crowberries, white pepper, dark cherries and hints of blood/game dominated the nose. Crowberries and sweet cherries took the palate. Nice balance, Silky tannins. Medium + lenght. Clearly open for business but will benefit from some more years of laying down (as I had planned to give this bottle, but never mind). 91-92p.
