  January 2, 2023 - Nicely developed with subtle red fruits, just a touch of earthiness. Medium weight. Nice persistence.

  April 21, 2022 - This is drinking really well at the moment. Red to dark fruit, with a slight liqueur type sweetness to the fruit accompanied by a certain light minerality and pleasant balance. As with the best from the region, sometimes what you can say is just "delicious", emphasised by how quickly it disappears from the glass.

  September 17, 2021 - Note after the fact, but a lovely wine… settled and graceful, yet a surprising amount of power remains for a 6 year old chiroubles

  May 22, 2021 - Cherry, raspberry jam, red berries and some faint herbs and foresty notes on the nose. The light to medium-bodied palate adds cranberry, tart forest berries, cola and decent acidity as well as some slight bitterness. Fine-grained, but still quite grippy tannins and long finish with some astringency, tapering towards tart red berries. The warm year is felt a bit, but is countered well by the structure of acids, tannins and the slight bitterness. Balanced, structured and drinkable. Drink now or hold a bit further if you prefer the structure over the fruit.

  March 16, 2021 - 13.5% alcohol. Very long high quality cork (like what you see on bottles of classified Médoc) with no wine penetration at all. Opened the previous day and drank a glass then, but this note is based on the next day tasting. The colour is fairly deep for Gamay, and it shows no sign of ageing.
  The nose has lost its exuberant youthful appeal and it is now fairly bland, with a note that is not far from acetic. The mouth is better with commendable liveliness and generic red berries; there is a rustic character to this bottle.
  Nowhere near my memory of earlier bottles; should probably have been drunk earlier (either that, or this particular bottle is off).
