August 10, 2022 - Very dark color. Elegant nose. Intense taste on the palate, espresso, dark fruit. Long elegant finish. Very nice wine.

April 4, 2021 - Easter with BK famiLee. Woah, dark leafy aromatics, lifted black, blue (but not purple) and red berries, leather, sweet earth. Dry herbs - sage, thyme, etc garrigue. Concentrated certainly, but also elegant, rich and opulent in a mature way. Hint of heat showing, but otherwise, balanced and long lingering eucalypt finish. Fresh from the screwcap. Complete and hedonistic. Drinking very well now, paired nicely w boeuf bourguignon!

October 10, 2018 - Very nice. Floral and iron straight out of the bottle, but still let it still for bit. Incredibly smooth with well integrated tannins. Didn't even notice the higher alcohol content. The red fruit, minerality, and floral balanced well up front and left a pleasant medium finish. Drink now.
