April 26, 2017 - Very young and primary, but also very earthy. Strong flavour of truffle over bright red cherry, with a background of tea smoke. Medium-bodied, with sour acidity and slightly bitter tannins.

June 22, 2015 - Luring floral scents pave the way to a ripe, sweet-fruited mouthful with spicy oak supplying subtle grace notes. It’s a bold, weighty, wine, with a fair bit of substance and a comforting velvety texture.
The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle.
