December 7, 2023 - Quite lean and austere, not a generous ripe style. Cearly very young. This will soften with age, right now it lacks charm. Medium weight, quite structured. Medium length and straightforward. Wait 5 years, has the structure to last many years.

December 28, 2022 - This was the favorite wine of the night — big dark fruit flavor and the famous violet perfume with lots of dark dusty cigar earth etc etc. Tannins still assertive but fine and very drinkable at this young age. For sure it will improve with time but it’s good now and food friendly as well.
