The nose is elegant and beautiful, quite pretty. The aromas are on the tertiary end of the spectrum with sweet spiced cherry compote, raspberry cream, rose petal, orange peel and a bit of funky underbrush. It's medium bodied with dense, fine tannin and crispy acid. This has the structure to go for longer, and the flavors are not yet fully formed. There's a lot of crunchy red berries with funky notes and some baking spice, but I think there's more here than meets the eye. Time will tell, I'd sit on it for another 5 years.

Ruby colour and an impressively fruity nose of cherries, with a hint of smokiness. Moderate acidity but still quite grippy. Despite that smooth with good length. Really enjoyable.

Clear dark ruby. Nose of rose petal, cherry, and cola. Ripe, silky palate of black cherry, strawberry, plum, and vanilla. Excellent length. Light, sweet tannins.

A near-flawless wine. Perfectly balanced integration of acidity, fruit, alcohol, and tannin in the mouth. Cranberry, cherry, and pomegranate in the mouth, with dusty tannins on the finish. Drink from 2010 through 2020

Fresh expressive nose of Raspberry and cool stream. Definite cured meat and red fruits on the palate. Nice tannins leading to medium finish.

Wonderful village-wine, near 1er cru level, shows you all of 2005. Open, sweet, dense, harmonious and long.
