March 7, 2024 - Un peu plus aimé que la précédente bouteille. Parfum de rose et de cerise. Les tanins sont fins, plus aimable que la précédente bouteille. Encore du potentiel d’amélioration.

November 7, 2023 - Un peu austère comme vin. Le parfum est incroyable avec de la cerise et de la rose. Les tanins sont un peu asséchant. L'ensemble est quand même approchable et le vin se laisse apprécier. Il manque une couche de gras pour être au top.

November 2, 2023 - I guess either to m my preference changing or how the wood imprint is showing I like this wine less than my note six years ago. Find the tannins from the wood to standing out to much, and I want to be clear that this is not related to the taste profile itself, it's the textural imprint.
That said, it's not a bad wine those who don't mind this aspect will be quite pleased with this wine now, no need to age it further in my view.
The bottle takes time to open up and do the nebbiolo resurrection act and move to younger and fresher notes in the glass and even more so on day two. -

May 18, 2020 - not too great on the aroma, but much more interesting after a few hours. Meaty, mixed with dry resin and leather. Light on the palate but long very dry acidic finishing.
