August 14, 2019 - fruit is still there, red, and focused. tertiary notes are present and as much as youd want. fundamentally the wine is interesting but lacks precision and freshness to age further. its good, but not great

February 5, 2015 - Delicious. Feral nose. Ripe, meaty, wild herbs. Long lasting on palate for vintage, though sharpness that keeps you from falling in love. Great with roast chicken and black truffles.

May 17, 2012 - Mature violet, slight bricking. First whiff is like opening a stable door; hay, manure, herbs. Second swirl reveals cold meats, ripe wild raspberry, blueberry, dried herbs. Medium bodied on the palate, great poise, forest fruits against tertiary flavours, good acidity, no tannins. Long, integrated finish. Perfectly balanced. Not a great vintage but this is great stuff, very powerful yet subtle, silently and patiently overwhelming you. Outstanding.
