Colour bright cherry red with only a hint of browning. Nose leather spice and herbs. Quite gentle for Tourtine. Great balance of fruit and structure. Tertiary notes of leather and spice. Gentle long finish. Lovely wine on a sunny evening with Wagyu beefburgers

Yeasty initially, herbs, boot polish, meat, smoke, profound fruit somewhere blueberry/raspberry. At the same time a bit wild and very pure. Cool on the palate. Fresh, very balanced. Lovely energy. Chunky tannins still there but supported by the fruit. This is a beautiful wine!

PnP at Flatiron. On opening, Totally herbaceous aromas; dense forest floor with very quick finish. Gave it an hr and nothing changed. Very underwhelming wine for the price and the reputation. Loads of sediment. Not sure if this wine will improve from here on.

Bummer!! Corked right from opening. Tempier does have a problem but previous bottles from this vintage have been fine
