  February 24, 2022 - There’s enough fruit here to make this pleasurable now, ripe blackcurrants, just a touch of capsicum some fine grained tannins, should develop nicely with a few more years and last for longer

  December 27, 2021 - Definitely not ready but I couldn’t resist trying my first Jacky Blot.
  
  Blackcurrant and Raspberry fruit, rich and very juicy.
  Peppery on the tongue with firm but pleasant tannins.
  
  Should be spot on in 5 years time.

  June 17, 2021 - Ensemble joliment fondu. Très légères notes végétales. Bel équilibre bien posé et longueur. Très agréable en début de repas. Un peu léger sur des fromages. Doit tenir encore plusieurs années. 90

  December 12, 2020 - I tried the 2016 in the Summer, so I thought I'd try the 2015.
  Still young but eminently drinkable now.
  Double decanted.
  Unlike the 2016 no funk on the nose, but spicy herbaceous-ness and what I can only describe as red meat!
  With a swirl the glass is dripping with legs.
  Bit muted on the palate with lovely crunchy tannins that are softening. Bit of funk on the palate. Dark, cherry like fruit on the aftertaste.
  Yum.
  On initial tasting prefer the 2016.
