Kinda split on this guy, to be honest. Style is up my alley, but tonight it was very restrained. Very. Improved with air, so maybe need to respect that next time.
Or maybe it just needs to cut loose a bit. C'mon!

TNs on CT are all over the place on this wine. My bottle showed notes of something like dried pomegranate, a dusting of potpourri and a blast of pepper. The next night, the wine tasted off, a bit funky/fetid and I wondered whether it was a sneaky case of TCA coming out (on the second night?), or if this is just a really funky Trousseau, as some of the other TNs below suggest.

Monthly Tasting Group HWS #096; Small French AOC's (By RG): Opinions differed about this wine in the tasting group. For me the ripe/canned strawberries were the most evident in both the nose as the mouth. A lot of sweetness and low acidity. Imho an uninteresting wine. No score.

Funky nose that blew off after 15 min of air and a bit of chill. Pleasant strawberry and peppery spice but not very exciting--as others agree.

nose of raw sewage. Took some time blow, a decent wine but not sure I'd buy again
