  From 75cl, a bottle of impeccable provenance, exquisite cork with no staining back from wine end. Quick decant off minimal powdery sediment. Expressive, complex scent with the promise of bright red morello fruit, hints of aromatic green herbs (rosemary, thyme), dried spice and a little forest floor earthy goodness. Light-bodied entry with good PN typicity, acid bright but not rampant, the texture makes me suspect full-bunch fermentation (or at least, that this wine must have tasted rather green and squeaky/astringent in its youth); mid-palate demonstates it is currently fully mature and wonderfully complex—-reiterating the aromatic themes of its initial scent, perhaps adding retronasal pine-forest. Short, clean finish. Drink now. 91P

  Delicious but should be drunk soon. The red color has lost all purple. Crushed cranberries and gravel fill the lithe nose. The palate likewise has nothing extra. Balanced on an edge of fruit and acid. A wine for food. I love this style. (90)

  Just a little village wine… it’s so good! The acid is really in check, red/purple-red fruit is surely bright, and tart, nearly soaring, with pretty perfumed earth, and something akin to gingerbread. This a tasty, tasty wine, begging for a nice meal to go with it.

  Very similar to the last bottle but perhaps even better. This is bright and acidic like you'd expect but the red and brambly fruits keep things just deep enough. Very crunchy and drinkable.

  Medium body, showing some burnt orange flecks through the transluscent ruby colour. Dark cherry fruit that’s gracefully declining, the texture in the mouth is silky smooth, some smooth tannins, the lovely acidity cuts through everything cleanly, long and satisfying to finish. This tastes in such a good place tonight, should develop for a while but I’m loving the fruit so much right now
