June 1, 2021 - This still needs decanting to open up, but it probably is not going to further improve. It is a good solid and enjoyable wine.

January 14, 2020 - Very long time to open. Medium body red. Fruit was good but not as robust as I remembered from France. But then that was France.

June 15, 2018 - Brilliant. Much better than the previous bottle. Decanted for > 2 hours. Opened exceptionally with round nose & taste. Improvement unlikely.

April 2, 2016 - Deep dark red wine. Very closed at bottle opening with fruit not showing until a hour after. Wine paired nicely with duck. Overall a disappointment compared to my introduction several years ago in Normandy.
