  Deep garnet and color with slight breaking edges. Nose of tart cherries, and hints of cranberries, leather, and a little funk. Tastes of cranberries, tart cherries, tobacco, and espresso. Medium tannins, drying fruit, and good acidity. At or just past peek. Drink now and over the next three to five years.

  Fun to taste this; a clear, cool fruit, minerals, good balance, an upright, vertical wine, quite the opposite to the Janasse prestige wines, yet still very local ... very good now, will keep, but not forever, drink up within two years, I think

  Nice perfumed aroma of ripe raspberry, cranberries, hint of leather and funk. Light medium bodied with nice integration of flavors - cranberries, herbs, espresso that lingers on the finish. Very good!

  Nice and round chateauneuf. Dark fruits, meaty, fairly polished and smooth. Some secondary leathery characteristic show up as well. Medium finish.
  Very good. 89-90
