  February 6, 2021 - Pop and pour. Really elegant and nice. Maturity with a brownish colour. Perfect timing to drink now!
  Some of the fruit is lost but the elegance is replacing that.

  July 23, 2019 - A nice pinot, with a hint of bitterness in the after taste that prevents a higher score.

  March 8, 2019 - Clearly pinot. Ripe strawberries. A bitter note that doesn't agree with me. A little pepper and raspberry boat. Juicy, and after a while the bitter notes do not disturb me. This is good. But for the money I think it's better pinots around. 86-88

  January 21, 2019 - Pale intensity, garnet color.
  
  Very expressive on the nose with truckloads of sunripe strawberries, rhubarb, garrigue herbs, nutmeg, some smoked meat and dusty gravel. The oak feels surprisingly well integrated (13 months in french oak, 30% new). Really soft and fluffy on the palate with generous amounts of ripe red fruit. Decent structure that saves the wine from being flabby. Good intensity to the fruit and again well-integrated oak that just gives some spicy sensations.
  
  A very charming and direct wine that it very approachable today. It doesn't really have the depth and complexity to make it super-interesting. Drink now or within 5 years.
