  January 9, 2024 - Savoury with notes of cooked mushrooms, this was still fresh and minerally with flavours of dark berried fruits. There was a touch of astringency on a bitter chocolate and mocha finish, but still holding its own. CHP 90 pts

  December 26, 2021 - D+0h: medium deposit in both the filter and the bottle, smells of raspberry and blackberry D+4h: purple colour, smells of blackberry, eucalyptus, raspberry and a little bit of smoke, medium body, smooth in the mouth, has a little bit of residual sugar, so is not completely dry, in the mouth blackberry and raspberry, in the aftertaste blackberry, a little bit of violets and also acidity, good length (30 sec), good red wine, but not really complex. I found the previous vintages better and more complex with the same degree of maturity.

  September 4, 2021 - C: Garnet with still a bit of purple on the rim.
  N: Fresh & vibrant with cherry and raspberry.
  T: Very fresh spicy and tannic but supported with a delicious red fruit compote, developing a rich silky texture. The fruit is sweet and ripe but balanced with a dry savoury note, a hint of bitterness and minerals. The finish is more than respectable and altogether it’s rather delicious.
  I: The whole package is immensely satisfying and now scores a more than respectable 91 points. This is a wine though that took a considerable time to mature and in fact the first few bottles from an outstanding vintage quite frankly disappointed. It has improved with every bottle since and I’m only sorry I opened the other bottles in the case of 6 at an earlier date. 91 points

  October 21, 2019 - Pas vilain même si simple et assez moderne.
  Fruits confits, surtout de la prune et des épices.
  Un peu de chauffe en finale.
