My last bottle of the 11, and needless to say the best by some margin. Gorgeous bright mid ruby, really vibrant. Red berries, precise and crystaline. Similar on the attack but now with more mid palate weight, an extra level of sweetness to the fruit. After an hour or so a touch of earth emerging, but still pretty primary. A lovely drink. ****

Gorgeous bright light ruby. Very precise and finely crystalline dark red fruit, starting to show some gentle autumnal development with some damp earth. Bright, elegant and very drinkable. ***

Pale ruby color and a bit of earth in the bouquet. Initially rather lifeless and flat, but with a little time the wine came to life and revealed red fruit, slightly tart, some metallic notes and adequate acidity, although it felt a bit thin. Probably time to drink up.

2/6, 1 glass coravined (8/1/20). Pale/medium garnet. Nose shows raspberries, earth, touch of white pepper. Medium bodied, red and black berry fruit, herbal notes, some firm tannins, spice, touch of meat, decent length.
Finished 24/11/21 - fragrant, strawberry, lightly gamey. Soil. Medium bodied, elegant, still quite fruity in the mouth with strawberries to the fore, very fine tannins, fresh acids, just a touch of graininess on the good length finish. Quite pretty though and certainly not done any harm by its 20 months under Argon.

Deep dark fruit, but nicely open. Medium length; decent bouquet. One bottle for the Coq au Vin, one bottle to accompany. Nice.
