July 2, 2022 - A lot more expressive after 1-2 hours. Notes of blackberry, framboise, underbrush, peppered meat, olive tapenade. Nose indicates significant stem inclusion in fermentation.
Palate is really pretty. tightly-knit and polished tannins, bright acidity, tremendous tension and density. Long finish.
I can see this holding for another 3-5 years although not sure it will develop much more from here.
April 12, 2022 - Nice blend, solid wine with relatively integrated and complex fruit.
March 27, 2022 - One of their better blends. Not overly complex. Good drinking window.
December 9, 2021 - Delicious Had with Prima’s Bella pizza
September 6, 2020 - Made in a very French style - light colored and medium bodied, tart with flavors of blueberry, blackberry and plum, it wrapped around my tongue oozing with flavor. Mouthwatering and great with chicken Provençal.
August 16, 2020 - Dark cherries and red currants lead on the nose, herbal and fresh with a note of smoke. Fruit is sweeter and the body is lighter than the nose suggests - red to dark berries with notes of tar , cracked pepper and garrigue. Lovely wine, drank well through three nights.
April 26, 2019 - Red and dark fruits, lots of oak flavors and tobacco.
February 17, 2019 - Served with leftover Chinese style ribs. At opening i was worried that it was way to young - tight, hot and not much going on. As it opened in the glass it showed soft red fruit, nice acid and a deism finish
September 2, 2018 - Thought would be an interesting blend when tasting started with great aroma of different berries. I found the taste less balanced or flavorful with short finish. Not as I had hoped. Perhaps opened to early.
June 15, 2018 - Per comments from others I decanted it 2 hours. The nose was very pleasant, the taste had everything together, except it was a little thin. Had it a special dinner with several who enjoyed big reds. mThey gave it high marks. I would not keep this wine until 2025 - more like another 2-3 years if I had more bottles.
