December 24, 2022 - Needs air, after which it's quite wonderful. Not your typical bordeaux: this is more a cab franc than anything, with the expected milder tannins, lighter body and subdued fruit. Still very well balanced earth & fruit elements. A lot going on for what is a rather low-key wine. Wouldn't pair this one with a heft steak but it was great with the lighter food we had it with.

December 21, 2019 - Provas blint mot tufft motstånd, bl a Gruaud Larose 82 och Latour 84. Den sticker ut som kryddig och pepprig snarare än grön (som vi förknippar med Cab Franc - 80% i denna). Av åtta personer tror fem att detta är från norra Rhone... Önskar jag hade haft en flaska till som jag haft möjlighet att testa om ytterligare ett par år. Tror inte 06 peakat än.

December 29, 2018 - Decanted for an hour. A hint of bacon fat on the nose followed by spearmint and tobacco. The ripe red fruit I noticed on the palate last bottle (Jan 2017) is much more subdued. The wine is elegant and subtle. I enjoyed this bottle more than the last one, and I’d say it is as good as it’s going to get but no rush to drink.
