  July 18, 2018 - Fairly brownish. Looks, smells and tastes older than it is. Funky nose with fading fruit. Drink up.

  July 5, 2018 - A decent enough wine, but too overripe for my tastes. Rather pruney.
  
  Better value elsewhere.

  July 29, 2015 - Opened & poured into glasses to breathe. Pale clear ruby red. A half premier Cru vineyard. The sacred imagery in the name and the Leclerc label sets the tone as a wine to be handled quietly and seriously. Initially, the bright red berries burst on the palate and the nose. It takes a bit, but the acid begins carrying the wine through. It quickly rounds into balance and plays off some rich cheese quite well. Medium bodied and elegantly textured. I will admit to be left wanting a bit more depth beyond the strawberry & cherry notes, but the fruit is fresh & pure.
  
  This is a graceful wine and almost plays crisp like a rose. It is a nice complement with dinner and is in a good spot for enjoyment right now.

  February 12, 2015 - By the glass at Hawksmoor Knightsbridge. Not sure how it was kept/preserved or when the bottle was opened. No apparent flaws.
  Soft and light , red berries dominate the nose, fresh but also not yet together and hopefully time will help. Lacks density and depth at this stage. 87 at best

  August 2, 2014 - watermelon jolly rancher, herbs, pasta dough, and bit of skim milk are shown. I think 2008 red burgs are in an awkward place right now. I’m going to wait at least a year on them. This bottle is 87 points.
