Deep ruby color. Aromas show some earth, soy, pepper, over mulled raspberries and cherries, some roses, spiced tea. Fresh acid, dusty tannins, still structured but no harsh edges. Raspberries and fleshy black cherries. Floral, black tea, some dried rose petals. Some sooty, charcoal notes that are a bit odd. Overall, a fun wine that I enjoyed, but not necessarily killer Santenots here.

Volnay texture with none of the flare. Indiscernible reddish fruit. Very reticent. Nice polish on the texture. Some subtle earthiness if you really look. Not up to Santenots standards.

It's been a long and stressful week and this wine is perfect. Beautiful garnet color, depth of color, bright cherry, and balance. Finish is long. This wine really hits the elegance and beauty notes nicely.

After a long and hard day of moving house, and with my belongings all still in boxes, it is time to reward myself! Sweet bright cherry with earth and spice make this a beautiful if somewhat underwhelming wine.

Hesitant to open up, very structured with red fruit and musty minty nose. Held up well against sweet and spicey food. Didn't open up on day two.
