  • Sulfur on the nose, light bodied wine with some funk. Not a complex wine but very unique.

  • Final bottle from a three bottle lot purchased from the German importer in 2021. Decanted for two hours. First tasted shortly after purchase, when it was all over the place, and in April of this year it was still a difficult wine. The extra six months seem to have ironed out some of the creases, without eradicating its essential character. The nose is pretty much clean now, with attractive fruity, floral and minerally notes; the palate is well-balanced, although hardly charming, with grippy tannins; the finish is palpably chalky and dry, but it is not unpleasantly drying anymore.

  • À l’ouverture, ça pue solide…. La réduction se dissippe avec un bon coup de carafe. s’ensuit un beau fruit rouge croquant, le tout melé a des herbes salés (tsé le pot de conserve de grand- maman). On ressent le bord de mer.

  • Animal and meaty with sulfide on the nose. Sulfide minimized on the palate, but lacking really any fruit. Opened two hours and it was a mineral and reserved on the palate with minimal fruit. The word that keeps coming to mind is ephemeral. Medium plus bodied. Decent acid. Tannins are folded in and elegant. What it has is in spades, but the lack of fruit suggests i would drink in the shorter term if you want something with a semblance of balance.

  • Second bottle from a three bottle lot purchased from the German importer in 2021. Two years minus one day since my previous note. It has simmered down considerably in the intervening time, the meaty reduction on the nose is still noticeable but not overpowering anymore, and it gives way to the ethereal fragrance of roses, cherries, berries and spicy volcanic minerality; the palate is energetic, fresh and elegant, silky and harmonious, but the dry and grippy tannins block the flow on the back palate; the finish starts quite dry and stalky, but the aromatic resonance and length are very good. There is a lot to like here, but it is not a wine without issues, I would have thought.
