  August 11, 2022 - PnP, consumed over 2 hours. Appearance: Clear, dark ruby. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with developing aromas of blackberry, black raspberry, plum, bell pepper, leather, and floral notes - violet. Palate: Dry, medium+ acid, medium+ tannin, medium+ body, medium intensity, 13.5% abv with developing flavors of blackberry, plum, leather, and spice with a medium+ finish.

  November 16, 2018 - Le Salon des Outsiders de J.M. Quarin (Edition 2018) (Paris, Hôtel Shangri-La): Nez d’intensité aromatique assez bonne sur de la prune, de la réglisse, de l’olive noire, du café et des épices.
  Entrée en bouche franche, aromatique et plus compacte que le millésime 2016 dégusté en parallèle - sur un beau jus de prune.
  De corps assez ample, le vin se montre sapide avec une pointe de sucrosité et un fruit mûr, une aromatique bien définie (cerise noire, prune, épices) mais qui est soutenue par une agréable acidité. L’équilibre est présent, de la structure avec une trame tannique un plus anguleuse que 2016 (pas aussi noble) mais qui reste d’un grain de qualité.
  Finale savoureuse de longueur normale, sur un fruit doté d’une belle concentration (prune, olive).
  Note : 16,25/20 i.e. 91/100

  September 13, 2018 - Pop and pour, consumed over 4 hours. Nose: Medium-plus expressiveness, blue and black fruit - plum, black raspberry, blackberry, smoke, shoe leather, with hints of Asian spice and dark flowers. Palate: Medium-full bodied, sweet red and dark fruit - cranberry, blueberry, and black berry - attack, spice driven mid-palate lift, fruit turns tart in the back-end where minerals and earth join the flavor party. Finish: Medium-plus length dominated by tart dark fruit, minerals, and earth. Very dynamic at the moment but showing some harsh edges, expect it could use another 3-5 years to resolve.
