  December 7, 2023 - Bu au resto AVV le Parvis de St-Hyacinthe.
  Possiblement la meilleure bue à date,
  on s'est régalé.
  L'accord avec les 3 viandes en pâte forestière
  était magique.
  Super raffiné et élégant, encore sur le fruit,
  cerises et mures avec un peu de cèdre et
  de terre. Les tannins sont fins et granuleux
  avec une belle finale longue et sans accroc.
  SUBLIME!

  October 25, 2023 - Took an hour or so of decanting. Colour is borderline heading towards brown. Close to being over the hill. Drink up if you have it.

  October 7, 2023 - Decanted about 90 minutes. Mostly red fruit, slightly lean. I caught wisps of a perfumed nose, but overall I found it rather understated. My wife really liked this bottle; I thought it was good but not outstanding. May need a bit more time in bottle or a longer decant to show its best.

  September 12, 2023 - Pop n poured and tried again second night. Not as good as previous bottle 6 months ago. Some earthiness. This bottle little more evolved some browning on rim fruit fading seemed past prime. Same storage as last bottle that i gave 92. Poured rest down the drain

  August 1, 2023 - As per tasting note from last year, this is good value for money. The tannin is a little challenging initially, but 2 or 3 hours goes a long way to address the issue. This is in its drinking window and I personally feel it doesn't possess the structure for aging and evolvement. That said, it is a fun wine and accessible with sufficient aeration.
