  Another excellent but still very young bottle, like many 2016s. Still, this was fun to taste again, as it opened up with a decant and there are just so many great things in this wine, from the level of ripe but not intrusive fruit, to the perfect but clearly perceivable tannin to the pretty high acidity providing tension and freshness. Great length, too. This just needs some more time, but a excellent wine in the making. (95+)

  The Cailles was tight, but opened up slowly during the dinner. Nose of raspberry and black cherries, this is more towards the black fruit end of the Pinot Spectrum. A significant mineral undertone that slowly loses it grip as it is allowed to breathe. Good and long length here, but a bit rustic feel finishing with some gritty tannins. This has potential, but needs more time or at least 2 hours of decant…

  Light ruby garnet. Black cherries, coffee, candied lilacs on the nose with a fine filigree of soil tones. Concentrated dark fruit on the palate, dense but light, smooth tannins, with a lovely aromatic fringe of acid. Long finish. Like ripples of sunshine on a dark forest pool.
