September 4, 2015 - Not decanted, consumed over ~3 hours. Consistent with my 4/1/2015 note, if showing a little simpler overall. Medium-weight dark fruit, herbal (but not overtly green) notes, hints of smoke or pepper and subtle structure. A nice drinker for the near term.

April 1, 2015 - Not decanted, consumed over ~1 1/2 hours on its own. Lean cherry fruit with a bit of an herbal olive note but no real greenness to speak of. There are also background floral notes showing on the nose as well as an overlay of cocoa and smoke on the palate. Simpler on the palate than on the nose, but still quite enjoyable. Nice acidity and subtle tannins make this one to drink over the next couple of years.

June 27, 2014 - This wine smells delicious - reminds me of the VDP Herve Souhaut...beautiful lighted and light baked strawberry, little bbq smokiness and black pepper, toasted smoky cherry and lavender. high acid, good 20 second finish. That side, much less complex on the palate and little hollow and lacks some midpalate but for the price, very pretty and elegant wine. hints of green olives at best but not pyrazine bell pepper you get from cab franc. would happily buy again. easy drinking/going down wine. elegent.
