Aroma: barnyard, Dusty. Taste: i’ve been drinking it since 2012 I particularly liked it in late 2014, 2017 and now in 2018. The color is almost black, intense Cherries, cloves, tangy, Smooth, rich and full bodied

Borderline "new world" stylistically, but never lets you quite forget where its from. Dark-ish fruit. Strong aromatics -- simultaneously dominated by acidity and earth. Good overall balance. Very slight hints of secondary components. Try again in 2-3 years.

Delicious! Open for business! An elegant, ripe plum and bit of wild cherry jam and a nice texture in a medium weight wine that carries through to the elegant finish. Woohoo--two more in tow! This has developed into a delicious wine since last tasting.

This has really closed down and it improved painfully slowly over the three or four hours we had it in a decanter. Figure they'll require two years minimum before getting anywhere different. As Bettane & Dessauve noted: a vin de garde which should last very long...
