Delicate, fleshy fruit and baking spice. Refreshing acidity and tannic grip, balanced. Structure rather than fruit but some raspberry and redcurrants and sous bois. Lengthy finish.

It's been while since I've had a wine that actually smells like grapes. Blue and purple fruit on the nose, body, color, and package all make it seem like this wine has more age on it than it actually does. Sous bois and some crunchy red fruit on the palate that is pretty light overall. An easy drink that's good for the price, to be enjoyed now

My first time with this producer. Quite blue fruited with streaks of sour red cherry and raspberries. Perfumed and tinged with soil tones, iron, slate, and liquorice root. A bit sauvage at times. Light to medium-light in body. Bright, clean and juicy on entry. It struggled a bit on the mid-palate, falling a bit short, but an acid and tannin kick at the end lifts it up. A wine I'm not particularly compelled to cellar, but rather drink earlier for it's freshness.
slightly cloudy. nose shows tones of limestone, speaks of the jura. medium bodied with with perky acidity. great balance, soft and supple but with lift. salted cherry and raspberry flavors, a hint of meatiness, fennel, and tons of gray stone. very savory on the back end. long finish. paint me impressed.

Day 1: decanted 1/2 bottle and consumed over 90 minutes. Faint aromas of red fruit and game. Moderate flavors of red fruit, strawberry, black cherry, and a bit of game. Moderate complexity. Light-medium body. Fresh, but a hint of underlying sweetness. Reminds me of Whitcraft with more structure/fruit. Long-term upside. 90-93.

Wonderful. So light and elegant, with great nerve and complexity. They should all come in magnums.

RCB pretty much nailed it. Good but lacking a bit of concentration.
