July 1, 2021 - Clean, ripe and downright delicious, with bright red berries and nice lift. A fine showing at nearly two decades of age.
May 20, 2015 - identical to the last bottle very consistent
January 18, 2015 - PnP'd, very soft nose and the palate was largely closed and had me concerned that this was indicative of the vintage. I decanted it for roughly 2 hours and it really opened up, open nose, red cherry, cranberry and a chalky minerality on the nose. Classic palate, high-toned red fruit, good red cherry core, earthy mushroom and loam with a subtle mineral finish. I would definitely drink up
November 15, 2014 - Over the hill. Faint nose of barnyard and leather. Light, Faded sour fruit with a gritty mouthfeel. Acid is about the only thing left. disappointing purchase from Kermit Lynch, who touted this as something special.
February 10, 2011 - Great nose upon P&P, even better after 30-60 minutes, combination of fruit and barnyard w/leather and tobacco. Nice mouth feel with medium length finish. Very popular with all who tasted it at a 8 person tasting. I wish that I had LOTS more of this, but this was the last bottle. What a steal at $11-$12 some six years ago.
October 24, 2006 - Fairly dense cru Beaujolais on nose and in mouth, in a distinctly cote-ish sort of way. Limited floral notes...more density and earth, but without either the gaminess or metallic-ness I get from a good Morgon or Moulin with a bit of age. Would not have guessed 02...probably would have guessed 04 (not that advanced). A mini Morgon or Moulin without the flamboyance. Clean and well made. I would like to see what this is like in a couple of years...it may be a little closed right now. Solid cru B., though there are others in the price range that I like a bit more (such as Roilette) that have more character.
