  February 9, 2021 - Six months after drinking our first bottle, we are not at all sad to have bought half a case more. Wine holds together extremely well for first hour, but then starts to lose some structure. Fruit well balanced by tannins (though they get the better of the fruit with time). Well extracted and delicious.
  
  C: black cherry and leather on the nose, acidic but somehow softly so, still love it.
  
  edit: It falls apart if left out (e.g.: in a glass or decanter); from the bottle after 2 hours is still great!

  August 26, 2020 - Drank with BLTs for dinner.
  
  An explosion. Highly extracted and delicious. Sweet fruit balanced by tannin (that was round or sharp depending on the glass). After about an hour open, and while we were eating the tomatoes, the wine developed a pronounced carbonic feel. In general, bigger in most every way than the Morgon Côte Py; here, V finds the fruit balancing the tannins better.
  
  C adds: intensely flavorful. On first sniff, I got something like leather; later, bright-dark fruits and bits of orange peel/zest and a hint of something nutty. I really really liked this one. Definitely want to drink again.
