  April 19, 2024 - An unusual CdP. Pale in the glass but showing bright acidity and fine but notable tannins. A little VA on opening and the first 30 mins but this dissipated gradually. Cherries and some light herbs are the main features. While not a blockbuster by any means, it pairs well with food as others have noted previously - almost Nebbiolo like some ways.

  March 31, 2024 - A bright red when poured. Lots of cherry on the front of the palate. Hints of white pepper, thyme and cedar. Very smooth to the point of being light on the finish.
  Delicious at the moment, but not a blockbuster.

  July 29, 2023 - Decanted for an hour before serving with rack of lamb. Dark crimson red color. Lifted and bright, with aromas of white currants, red berries and floral tones. Pleasant pine forest and herb overtones. Full-bodied. Fine tannins with a bit more acidity than I’d have expected. Flavors of baked cherries and boysenberry, white pepper and herbs, though not yet what I’d consider garrigue. No hints of the raisiny ripeness I found in the Janasse Chaupin last week. 91 pts on its own, and a smashing pairing with the lamb- no surprise there. Once again, Domino liked this better than I, giving it 93 on its own and a bit higher considering the pairing. Still quite young, with some upside.

  July 20, 2023 - I found this to be a fabulous CDP. The bit of bottle age has likely helped it a lot as there is a firm backbone of precious and structure but alongside beautiful, expansive hedonistic rich fruit profile. This kind of has everything. Glad I have one more and which I had more than that. This is the kind of wine I should be buying more of - amazing quality for a reasonable price.
