  July 2, 2021 - Deep ruby colour. Nose of raspberry and anise. Tarte and strong with a lengthy finish.

  March 31, 2021 - I love this blend which has soft fruit taste, and subtle hints of oak and chicolate

  September 2, 2019 - Bon habituellement. Trop oxydé cette fois, saveur de gros raisins et présence forte d’alcool. Trop longtemps en carafe(6h) je présume

  March 18, 2019 - Last bottle. Two bottles ago, I had a bad cork which led to the wine being well below par. The last bottle was OK....both the cork and the drinking experience. This bottle had a bad cork (very difficult to extract..….crumbled), but the drinking experience was OK. My experience is likely a warning to those out there that still have bottles of this one. It is not likely I am the only one that has experienced cork deterioration with this wine......the bottles have been well stored.
