  Old school with dark red fruit, lots of earthiness and some bret hints but not in a bad way. Got much cleaner with air and settled into a nice balance. The old vine complexity is evident and this could easily be a dead ringer for a CNDP. May be fun to insert into a blind tasting :o).

  Tasted blind. Dark berries, some leather notes, and a hint of green flavors on the nose. Medium+ acidity and quite structured tannins with red berries and cherries on the palate. Very nice finish. The nose reminded me much of a Syrah with a bit of age on it, but the palate was much brighter. Interesting wine.

  Been a few years since I had one of these, fun to see how it has developed. Still quite dark, not quite opaque, showing deep strawberry garnet color. This wine had a tendency toward showing brett, but has been stored perfectly at 55 degrees. There’s a bit of roasted mushroom earthiness, but it’s relatively clean on the nose. Palate is still quite youthful and fresh, a mix of blackberry fruit with a bright raspberry streak, excellent acidity, some lightly chalky tannins. The electric/volcanic note I remember is still there, but faded into the background. A fascinating wine starting to reach maturity, but with years to go.

  Dark crimson violet color, no sign of brett on the nose, which this wine can show. Every time I open one of these I'm sorry I have one less, so much great intensity, energy, deep red/purple fruit, with strong volcanic notes, violets, spice, still very youthful, with good acidity and medium fine tannins. Glad to have several more to continue following into the future.
