March 13, 2024 - Carafé plusieurs heures, bu sur 2 soirs.
Explosion de petits fruits murs au nez autant qu'en bouche à l'ouverture, avec une texture soyeuse, longueur moy, acidité moy-, tanins faibles, corps moyen.
Après 2h de carafe, pas mal de prunes et un peu de dattes au nez et plus court en bouche, IDEM le 2ème soir.
Bouteille assez différente de la dernière il y a 6 mois.
Si celle-ci est représentative des autres, il faudrait boire à court terme. -

September 11, 2023 - Deep ruby morphing into garnet.
Still residual dark fruits with cedar, cinnamon and forest floor.
Well balanced, well integrated tannins.
Penultimate bottle, holding up very well.
Final bottle can wait until 2024/2025. -

May 27, 2023 - Violet foncé, opaque.
Fruits noirs au nez, un peu d'épices et de cassis.
Fruits murs en bouche mais belle fraîcheur, longueur moy, tanins assouplis, corps moy+.
Rien de trop complexe ni puissant, mais dans une belle période.
À carafer 1-2 h, meilleur en mangeant définitivement comme on peut s'y attendre.
Bon RQP.

May 13, 2023 - Wow. What a great evolution for this wine. The oak tannins are still present but are wonderfully integrated with the fruits . It is still tasting like a young wine. Beginning its prime I guess.

November 5, 2022 - En verticale avec un 2012. Excellent mais le 2012 était sublime. Plus de fruits et de longueurs
