Dark garnet color in glass almost opaque. Lovely developing nose. Full bodied and tanninc on palate. Give this at a least five years or maybe ten! The equal of any Premier Cru Burgundy and from a winery not known for it's Pinot Noirs!

Attractive bright garnet color in glass. Lovely developing bouquet. Lots of varietal character and complexity on palate. Moderate acidity and tannins. Perhaps not quite at peak. Wait a few years on this one. A very pretty wine. (13.5 % alcohol).

Inky black color in glass. Bouquet of black chocolate. Full bodied on palate with ripe tannic fruit. Lots of depth and extract, thick and chocolatey. Not yet at peak and needs maybe 4-5 years at least! Fine particles of sediment coat inside of bottle. (See my previous notes from 2017).
