Nose: Old library, dusty earth, petrichor; dark raspberries; really great. Palate: The palate disappoints with unbalanced and very sour red cherry, which is in strange contrast with a moderate to moderately low acid backbone; no tannins left to speak of.

We opened this on December 5, 2022. Stored 500 ml in 500 ml bottle with no head room, and drank the remainder on December 22, 2022, with a beef stew with olives and capers. The nose initially had very little fruit or fragrance but then opened up to smell like cherries. The taste began on a sour note and ended on a sour cherry and tannic note. The consensus in this household is it’s not ready to drink.

Fruit not as strong here, quite sauvage and a little earthy/savoury. Much cooler on the nose than the Galichets; creamy texture. Nice fruit, very nice drinking but for me the Galichets pips it.

Flat-out not ready to drink. Big wine, with strong mineral character. But it just ain't ready, it is closed , tight, and a bit mean. Open 2030?
