  Light- garnet to a brown rim. The bouquet is savoury with undergrowth, mushroom, herb and dried earth but saved by an elegant floral twist. As it opens more pear and mulberry arrive.
  Medium+ acid on entry, the wine has a cherry stone texture, some lifted red flowers, strawberry and spiky alcohol. Feels rather ripe and syrupy yet with chewy, almost hessian tannins and a mineral grip. It sees to come together with a crushed stone and some compaction to the tannins making for a solid wine but I wasn't completely taken. Everything seemed rather gritty and open-knit. Bright finish and more rock dust as it exits. A tenacious wine.

  Opened tonight with rabbit in mustard sauce and braised red cabbage. Totally harmonious and graceful, no rough edges. Bright red fruit, floral overtones and balanced acidity in the finish. Deliciousness while waiting for the CdP to come around.

  Dark Gamay fruit, mineral notes, and gripping acidity. Very good with roast chicken.

  with a bit of air this is nice. Red fruit and a touch of earth. Good balancing acidity.

  From memory: Wild strawberries, damp soil and floral perfume on the nose and palate. Fairly powerful and concentrated, but lacks detail – hard to explain, but comes across as a little “blurry-edged”. Not a major inconvenience, but a little more precision would no doubt have justified an additional point or two.
