October 26, 2023 - Bouteille arrivée à maturité qu'il faut boire dans un horizon à 2-3 ans.Fait honneur à son appellation mais manque un peu de tout aussi bien au nez qu'au palais pour mériter davantage de considération.Le bouquet manque d'intensité et de complexitécela reste du pruneau et des fruits rouges.La bouche est bien élégante mais cela manque de matière,surtout en milieu où un creux se fait sentir.Belle longueur cependant.

November 20, 2022 - Mature palate with soft, round fruit and good acidity. A bit thin but silky and elegant. Solid wine.

September 5, 2022 - Decanted for 3 hours and nose its still closed. Probably need longer decanting to open up the wine. When swirl, notes become more pronounced and you have mushroom, ripe red and black fruits, prune. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin. Tannin is integrated.
