February 5, 2023 - Had alongside the ‘17. I’d say this had more energy, lively fruit, open and juicy. In a good spot now but might develop even more with further cellaring.

December 8, 2021 - Beautiful nose with ripe strawberries, blueberries and cherries and floral tones
Rich taste with violet, cherries, strawberries, the fruit is balanced by the acidity but there are still some tannins that gives the wine some back bone. -

April 4, 2021 - Fruity nose with dark cherries, strawberries, violet, and almost a meaty touch in the nose.
Raspberries, dark cherries, strawberries, graphite, herbal touch long aftertaste. -

August 13, 2020 - Magnum. Au restaurant, pas de notes formelles.
Robe cerise presque noire. Le nez est quelque peu réticent à l’ouverture et propose ensuite des arômes de fruits rouges, sans trop de complexité.
En bouche, le vin est solide, droit et direct, manque de nuances mais termine sur une bonne longueur avec de la fraîcheur.
Il lui manque sans doute 1-2 ans pour s’épanouir, surtout dans ce format.
