  March 15, 2022 - Medium ruby colour. Medium (+) and developing nose with ripe red cherry, red plum, strawberry, vanilla, potting soil, red beet and violet. Medium taste of ripe red cherry, red beet, strawberry, vanilla and red apples. Long and dry finish. Medium acidity. Medium (-) tannins. Medium body. A very good Valdiguié that is very juicy. Needed half an hour of air to reach its fruitiness. Drink now or over the next couple of years. Goes well with duck, pork, poultry or veal.

  September 6, 2020 - A pretty simple easy drinker. Really bretty on opening, which distracted from the freshness of the fruit. Or maybe that's the point? Brett doesn't add good dimension to most wines, especially a chillable red that seems like it's meant to be crushed. Tart, minerally, crunchy red fruit and not much texture to speak of. Way better with food.

  February 19, 2020 - Most of the good stuff is on the surface. Shows well initially and loses legs once you dig a little. It becomes a little insipid, tart, watery, and stemmy after a glass or two.

  February 10, 2020 - Nerdy wine. Bright, tart fruit (watermelon hard candy with a cranberry finish). Fresh and lively. Definitely some sort of schist or limestone which gives it a saline quality. Very food friendly (vegetable soup, paella, chicken: roast or fried, burgers).
