May 7, 2023 - Dark red fruit, cassis, cedar, some earthy tones, and a hint of beetroot and graphite on the nose. The medium-bodied palate brings in some more graphite and some spices, along with medium acidity. Long finish with somewhat resolved, but still noticeable tannins. In a good spot now, with developed fruit, but still enough frame to carry the package, and everything being pretty well in balance.

July 7, 2021 - Medium garnet with mild bricking
Aromatics medium. Graphite, cedarwood. Some earth ending in plum
Palate with medium body. Acid medium +. Tannins medium +, fine and we'll integrated on teeth and gums. Dark cherry. Blackberry.
Finish has medium length. Balanced.
Great example of balance in a French wine.
Drinking well now. -

June 26, 2021 - als Absacker, 1 Glas.
Nach DOM de Chev 2000 erwartungsgemäß schwächer, aber kein großer Abfall
Volle Frucht palette, kraftvoll, nicht unelegant
