January 24, 2024 - A bit reductive after decanting but quickly opens up to wild flowers and herbal aromatics. Cassis, black fruits, granite. Fine grained tannins and nice acidity provides a lot of lift on finish. Just a a baby, looking forward to checking back in a few years.

October 7, 2022 - The wine opens with flowers and smoke before you discover the layers of sweet, ripe, dark cherries and plums. Concentrated, elegant, vibrant, fresh, sensuous, and rich, texturally, this is a stunning wine that should only get better from here. Drink from 2025-2050.

December 15, 2021 - Showing even better than. last visit, the wines the intense violet smell and soil compounds int it, salty and mineral, the great tannins of the palate are balanced by some "un je ne sais quoi" that gives the wine both power, class, and refinement. Velvety and so Wonderfull
nothing of a show off, but it stands at the peaks of the appellation for sure...
Keep 10 at least -

July 26, 2021 - tasted at the estate
Elegant nose of violets, flowers, not as exuberant as the Landonne, and with a touch of oak ...
Delicate wine with nice acid and tart crisp first, then the lard and smoky character comes up, with black olive and tapenade, which I love the most, a bit of licorice...
Outstanding wine ... again !
