May 10, 2021 - Medium ruby color. Complex nose with floral top notes smoked bacon, turned earth, and sweet strawberry notes. Medium bodied on the palate, with good presence and length. Still going strong.

May 2, 2015 - Medium garnet core, pale garnet rim. Lots of debris! Nose is very odd - dominated by honey and Elastoplast - odours I associate with Brett. The palate is better, though the odd aromas are still there it also shows some attractive, spicy red fruit, floral notes and a touch of white pepper. The tannins are soft, it has fresh acidity which carries a good length harmonious finish, but ultimately the wine is spoilt by its Brettiness. NR

April 11, 2015 - Beguiling and expressive nose of smokey bacon, black fruits, freshly tilled earth, meaty and farmyard notes; complex and long finish.

March 8, 2014 - Offline w/the current Mr and Mrs Jaines (London, UK): Distinctly Northern Rhône (as I saw the label :-) with a wink towards Bordeaux structure.
Aromatic nose towards green mint and nepeta. Sumi ink and red fruits together with a healthy and generous dose of Brett keep this wine elevated in the classic fashion.
Taste is superbly balanced, acids and tannins perfectly integrated with everything and has to be assumed to be at its plateau. Not made for the long haul, but exquisit pleasures today.
What a wine! -

February 8, 2014 - Beautiful wine that has a delicate and aromatic feel - very nuanced and perfumed with red fruits cut through with darker under tones of beef stock. Excellent value at £32.
