April 18, 2023 - Beautiful, pure fruit and more primary than the last bottle I opened a few years ago, oddly enough. Brilliant chinon.

March 8, 2022 - A quintessential expression of cab franc, in a perfect spot. I could drink this all day.

March 6, 2022 - Holding on well, definitely on the lighter and more elegant side of things with no real tertiary notes yet. It certainly seems as if it’s on the tail end of life but maybe this has a funky and glorious second act in it? Cab franc can be hard to judge in mid-life. Can’t wait to see where it goes.

December 17, 2021 - Great feral cab franc nose -herbs, stewed tomatoes and peppers, muted red fruit. This bottle had an off taste in the finish that marred it on day 1. After 48 hours, the off note was gone and the wine was delicious as previous bottles, if a bit thin.
Not sure if this wine has much longer to run. I’d drink up if I had more. -

September 21, 2021 - Very good. There is a great tobacco note that has now emerged above the woodsy, herbal and red-fruited deliciousness that has characterized this wine for many years.
