This is drinking well! Great acidity with integrated tannin and dark fruit flavour. Good length. Slight smoky taste at the back of the palate after the sweet dark fruit.

This opened up over an hour and a half. It is really pleasant...with cherry and some earth....simple but ready. Drink them over the next year or two.
Opened up more after a day corked in the refrigerator. Sweeter fruit. Day 2 better than day one. Should last a bit longer than I initially believed. Beautiful now. 91

Ripe and fresh black cherry aromas and flavors along with rich, meaty textures and a hint of sauvage. This has really integrated very well as I expected when I tried it last a few years back. An impressive Villages level wine, at a very good place today.

Black cherry aromas with meaty spice. Quite robust structure and fruit concentration on the palate with some impressive power from middle to finish. For a Villages level wine, this really needs a few more years for the acid and tannin to integrate a bit more.

Drinking very well. Very smooth. Fully integrated. Bright fruit. Still fresh. This was worth the wait.
