Neighbourhood hangout at Maison Dakota. Tasted blind. Drank in Gabriel Standart. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose medium+ intensity, initial funk that blew off, then aromas of stemmy spice, bright red cherries, raspberries, strawberries. Developing. On the palate, dry, bright high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of red licorice, bright red cherries, raspberrries, starwberries, stemmy spices. Savoury mushroom with more air. Long finish. Very good quality. Dujac stems elements in place here. A lot cooler and less ripe than expected for a 2015. Well done. Will drink well as it develops over the next 4-5 years.

In magnum. Sappy purple fruit, Dujac spice and mild reduction. Very enjoyable.

In magnum. Lush and ripe with violets, red licorice, vanilla and spice. Good volume for a village wine.

Spicy nose, stems evident in a good way. Fruit is mostly red. Good restraint for a 2015. Very good now.

Completely shut off on the 1st night. The second day it was more expressive, still very ripe and concentrated. Good wine.
