March 30, 2024 - Dans une belle fenêtre. Nez super intéressant de noyaux de cerise et d’épices. Idem en bouche, des notes poivrées. Fondue, long et très agréable.

September 12, 2023 - The first two bottles of this wine were a little disappointing to me......not in relation to the price point, but in relation to what I hoped for and had experienced in an earlier vintage from this producer. This bottle was what I had hoped for. I guess it just needed time. The bottle was open for one and half to two hours before dinner.

May 27, 2023 - Très beau nez sur le noyau et la cerise , pointe de graphite. Belle complexité, fruits, tannins serrés, astringence, notes terreuses, acidité +. Va tenir la route longtemps. Hyper classique.

March 22, 2023 - Popped and poured. Bright ruby/crimson color. Raspberry, black cherry and earth notes. There’s a subtle cured meat undertone. Light-bodied, with flavors of currant, herb, sandalwood and raspberry. Nice.

March 5, 2023 - Garnet-ruby body with some slight brickeshness on the rim. On the nose, there are notes of tart cherries, damp earth, dried herbs, rose, and terracotta. Light and crisp on the palate. Notes of cherries, redcurrant, clay, tobacco, and leather. Decently long, quiet finish with hints of warm spice, light coffee, and lingering fruit. Tannins have an enjoyable light grip on the front teeth. Nice balance between earth and fruit. Simple and pleasant drinker.
