October 22, 2023 - 48 heures plus tard ce vin révèle sa véritable personnalité, sa subtilité et sa complexité. Je révise ma note de 89 à 93. Le carafage est impératif !

September 24, 2023 - Dark red, but bright.
Nose not as expressive as the body, full of red fruits.
It's elegant and redy to enjoy now already, due to the majority of Merlot in the blend
It can age as well..horizon 2036 ! -

August 20, 2023 - Very fruit forward bouquet of cassis and raspberries at such a young age without being overdone. The palate is soft delicates and filled with red raspberries. This wine still has time to evolve but it’s already drinking quite well. Finish is medium long. Superb!

July 30, 2022 - Opened and tasted. Wine smelled and tasted quite tight. Let breath in bottle for around three hours. Wine color is rust on the edges and a deep red violet center. Nose of rust, iron, dust, leather, raspberry. Taste was smooth but high tannin that mellowed just a bit after the air. Very long finish. Also noticed the wine had LOTS of sediment, which I found a bit strange. Maybe this is infiltered. Have 3 more bottles and won't touch for at least 5-7 years and I imagine these will last a good decade or two. Hoping to bring the rating to a solid 92 next time around.

April 5, 2022 - Beautiful inky purple color. Big bouquet dominated by dark fruit - black cherry, boysenberry, blackberry, cassis, with a touch of butterscotch, walnuts and pepper at the end. Lovely wine. Can drink this one now, but will probably get better over time.
