October 21, 2023 - Could not be better! Decanted 1 hour. This wine is so so soft and the finish is so long. Fantastic!

November 6, 2022 - This took a while to open up...did not decant as I assumed it was ready to go - but it was only after being opened after 3+ hours that the full profile of blackberry, grilled meat and savory spice fully express.

June 6, 2021 - PnP, but let breathe for an hour or so. In its apogee, this is absolutely stunning. Youthful in color, it is full of red cherry, hints of strawberry, smoky gravel, Herbs de Provence, vanilla, and heaven. This is real deal Hermitage that coats your mouth with absolute pleasure!
This is my first time tasting this wine of this vintage, but based on its age and current state, I would expect this to easily carry on at this level for another 10 years. -

June 25, 2019 - Nez complexe évolué, expressif dès le départ , sur un mélange de fruits noirs, de notes sanguines, de thé, de fumée. Très très joli !
L'attaque est ample, volumineuse. Changement de registre en milieu de bouche avec une acidité plus marquée qui amène de l'éclat et fait ressortir les notes ferreuses, sanguines. La matière est dense avec une belle patine des tanins. On a vraiment la sensation d'un vin à point, harmonieux.
Très longue persistance sur la complexité du nez, avec peut-être un petit bémol sur quelques notes de sous-bois que j'ai trouvées moins intéressantes que le reste. Très légère sécheresse en dégustation pure.
Superbe !
