June 28, 2020 - Still quite dark purple hue, some violet. On the nose brambly fruits, some forest floor muskiness, slight gamey note mixed in with black cherry. Interesting juxtaposition on the palate, with dark cherry fruitiness set alongside quite firm and dry tannins. Certainly one for the table, this is quite austere but well made and intriguing.

February 10, 2016 - bright red/ purple
VEry lively nose, smells like crunchy red fruit with distinct note of violets
LIght body, lots of summer pudding type fruit, very dry, some tannin and a slatey sort of quality. More violets and a little leather on the finish.
Quite concentrated, ideally needs food
Variety is MONDEUSE
Tastes a bit like a cross between syrah and gamay with a bit of loire cab franc thrown in.1 person found this helpful Comments (2)
