July 27, 2023 - Lovely fresh red fruit, not that complex, but has some depth. This is at its peak but will (hopefully!) last a few more years from here.

April 2, 2021 - Consistent with last bottle, perhaps a little better. Everything working well together - ripe (but not overripe) red fruit, fresh acidity and really fine, powdery tannins. Depth without weight ... the flavours ripple over the palate like water over rocks. Very enjoyable.

April 12, 2020 - Definitely in its drinking window now. Dark fruit, just avoids tipping over into stewed (seems to be a a characteristic of 2015 vintage), nice sous-bois notes, moderate acidity and lovely, fine-grained tannins. Good now and should improve for several years.

October 6, 2018 - I agree with Burghound's note.
more complex than Les Greves (gamey and herbal)
but, little intense -

June 9, 2017 - Decanted. Initially low intensity aromas of stalks, red berry fruit. With agitation the fruit grows a little and a touch of earthiness is introduced. More generous on the palate though; juicy, slightly spiced red berry fruit travels long joined by very slightly drying tannins. Still a bit of a puppy but very nice.
