April 14, 2024 - Good, complex with dark berries and earthy notes. A bit on the downswing though, with some stewed character.

February 19, 2021 - My low expectations made this a wonderful surprise, as I picked this up late w/o knowing it’s cellaring history. Beautiful expression of Rhône varietals that integrated in a PnP gem. Almost a sweetness, but still dry with big aromatics and a long finish. I’m a late-comer to Denner but proud to be adding to my inventory.

October 2, 2020 - Decanted 3 hours which blew off alcoholic overtones it was a total pleasure to drink over the next 2 hours : ) Sour cherry, blackberry. Light to medium body. Great with grilled lamb lollipops. While its going strong I don't see it getting better. Drink up
