  March 3, 2024 - 80% Tannat, 20% Cabernet Franc. Maturing on the lees for 12-14 months in 60-80% new barrels, 14% vol.
  
  Decanted 3 hours before dinner, that helped a lot to open. Quite different to the last bottle 3 and a half years ago, the primary fruit and the notes from the oak are gone, there is still some dark fruit, but in addition it shows tar and roses, on the palate good freshness and structure, medium to full bodied but still rather elegant and with good length.
  
  In a nice place now, first maturity, the nose is more suptle than a couple of years ago and the tannins are still there but fine grained, quite Barolo like, it's the first time I get this from a wine from Brumont. Was perfect with the brasato we had. Drink within the next 8 to 12 years and give it a lot of air.

  April 10, 2023 - Ce vin ne m'a jamais séduit, je le trouve depuis le début plat et sans expressivité. J'avais l'espoir qu'il s'ouvre avec l'âge mais sur cette bouteille, ce n'est pas le cas. les tannins sont plutôt civilisés, mais les arômes sont aux abonnés absents, particulièrement en bouche. Le nez livre quelques chiches arômes de mûre, pointe fumée. Point d'interrogation.

  March 8, 2023 - Finaly opened one of my 2 bottles, purchased years ago from my very dear friend. It was our final wine on a georgeous night with friends. The wine showed marvelous. Beautifuly aged, harmonious, fresh. Great flow and depth, very good length. No need to rush. Great.

  May 28, 2021 - Quite underwhelming and way below what we remembered from previous bottles. Possibly flawed, although no cork or other typical defects.
