February 18, 2024 - As always, Philippe Melka has crafted an outstanding wine: lovely aromas of fruit & spice, the wine is rich & complex with a long, long finish. A wine in a beautiful place right now. Decanted three hours. 97+

February 4, 2022 - Very big perfume, a pleasure in off itself. Low acid, smooth, long lasting finish of raspberries, tobacco and dark cherries. Very enjoyable drop.
