Community Tasting Notes 7

  July 21, 2023 - Holds up really well at 12 years of age and can definitely last 10-20 years as the producer claims. Drinks very well and improves in the glass. But there are much better expressions of the terroir and grape for a much lower price out there.

  June 11, 2023 - Decanted for an hour. A very nice expressive nose of dark fruit, plums and blackberries, with a bit of lilac. The palate is quite racy, good acidity, strong tannins, intense red berries, in contrast with the nose. Delicious!

  October 16, 2021 - Mellow tannins, soft fruit, quite a bit of sediments, decent fruit but nothing really to show for.

  July 20, 2019 - Oaky, concentrated, savoury, some smokiness, blue fruit. Still young. Really tasty. But also quite atypical for its origin, more of an international style. Not sure what I feel about that. In any case, no rush to drink up.

  February 2, 2017 - Nice cabernet profile. Oak will integrate with time. Only 13% but still felt the alcohol. Poor qpr at 30€.
