  I really dig this. The nose is spectacular and really leaps from the glass with dried plums, cherries, and lavender. Medium bodied and old-world styled in the mouth. Very cleanly made. This is definitely unique and very Mediterranean in styling. Probably need to have more experience with Corsican wines to say for sure, but I think I like these.

  I really like this. Nose is very reminiscent of a good Bandol. In the mouth, ripe blackberry, cassis, mineral, wild flowers. There is a great crunchy tang to this from the high toned fruit. Not at all New World. Very unique and really enjoyable. This is drinking beautifully at the moment but I think it is likely in decline. Would certainly look to rebuy in an updated vintage.

  Drinking well now. I disagree with California references. This is old-world and unique showing aromas of earth, wet forest, a bit of barnyard with black currant/raspberry towards the finish. The fruit is up front on the palate but the finish is full of earth and wet leaves. Medium acid/tannins/finish so this should last a couple more years but I don't see it improving. Unique and nice to try.

  End o' Summer Roundup - 2015: Perhaps the biggest surprise in the lineup because of its ripeness - would've guessed it to be from California if tasted blind. Expressive with ripe plum & blackberry complemented with some classy currant notes as well. But in general it was too sweet for me and lacking in acidity. Nevertheless, an interesting drinking experience.
