September 15, 2022 - High fill level, possibly recorked, or a very humid cellar. In a great place now, typical aromas of cherry, raspberry, cassis, tobacco with very mellow bell pepper notes. Round light to medium weight palate with a refreshing acid driven finish. Clean and well aged. Tasted best after a few hours of bottle being opened.

January 19, 2019 - Pulled for PMB on her first weekend home as a member of staff of Congressman Burchet. This wine probably paired quite well with the truffled cheese and bacon she added to the top of the seared beef ribeyes, what with the funky-earthiness of the wine. She preferred it to the Togni ’01 also served. DDB and I preferred the more polished Togni.

November 24, 2018 - No slow oxygenation this time. This wine seems to be the exception that proves the rule for slow ox: both this and the Grand Mont show best when simply popped and poured. This approach seems to best display the tell-tale raspberry, cherry and cinnamon brush broad strokes. While no green pepper colors splotch the canvas, the typical Bourgueil vegetal accents nevertheless frame the edges. Shades of a woodsy/earthiness come along side with the finish. 12.5% alc. With Shack attack (beef) burgers Thanksgiving weekend the night before PMB returns to Iowa. Recommended.
