  February 21, 2015 - Finnish birthday celebration DAY (eve) (La Verdura, Yokohama): As Pjaines so aptly puts it, not the brightest Ginger relative you could ever wish to forget anywhere. (Label and capsule are definitely ginger...) But we quite enjoyed its quirkiness. This is an awe-inspiring wine given the facts that the vintage was completely sucky-sucky and that it's our first go with this particular chateau.
  
  Medium red with beginning maturity on the robe.
  Nose is just young fruity with a small behind of cow (Brett) and fine vegetal hints from the load of CF doing its job JUST right.
  In the mouth, this is rather thin and just doesn't quite qualify as "medium bodied". Has several medicinal aromas in the aroma spectrum that makes this wine a little 'cumbersome'. But it's balanced, well made and ... a wine I'm happy to not have more btls of. However, it has risen our curiosity of what this estate just may deliver in a better year.
  
  Must say: Well made for the poor vintage, especially as so many others face-planted much much much worse. For instance: VCC, for the price of 4 btls of this per btl is not at all performing according to any credible source.
  
  Wife: preferred the Rioja GR.
  
  Wine-Searcher score was (some yrs ago) 81p. That is just unnecessarily harsh and completely non-objective. Maybe the scores were collected from GUYS with cloudy balls, as in crystal balls.

  April 11, 2014 - This wine has developed in the right direction since we tasted it a year ago. It now feels balanced and elegant, with ok fruit regarding the vintage. Black currant, sweet plums, mint, green pepper and coffee. Maybe a little thin and the finish is rather short. I would not keep this wine much longer.

  October 27, 2013 - Pretty unmemorable at first, but I came back to this the next day after it had been left unforgotten in the kitchen like a ginger-stepchild......and it had turned into a reasonable passable Bordeaux. A touch of leafy elements in there (Cab Franc?) counterbalanced by decent enough black fruit. Nice, quaffable Bordeaux of a quality elevated slightly above the hoi-polloi.
