Very deliciious. Aromatical ripe strawberries, with a touch of roasted elements, very aromatic. Great structure, fine and mellow tannins. Great balance and a cool transparent core. For higher rates there is just a lack of a very long length. Just medium Wonderful Marsannay, great winemaker.

lots of leather, smoked meats, plums, black fruits. Kinda pungent and stinky with some sulfur. Showed some eucalyptus after more than an hour, and became more fragrant.

notes of leather, a little animal, and black cherries. Tannins are still here for sure. Showing more sweetness after 30 minutes. After 1½ hours definitely more open, showing more dried herbs and perhaps a little stem. More tannic at this point and also more complex. Sometime before the 2½-hour mark the wine just "died" on the palate and tasted horrible, but the nose was still perfectly fine.

Ripe and quite exotic, dark fruited, dark ripe raspberries. Similar on the palate but with no lack of freshness to balance the fruit. Bitterness presumably from the stems. Fun to drink but quite intensely primary and young. Can leave this for a while.
