Great intensity. Hot but balanced with smooth and firm tannins. Expressive ripe red and black fruit. Good energy, and complexity. Nice length. Needs time! — 9 days ago

The nose of Reynaud wines. Great intensity and depth. Blood orange and spice. Palate was full with notes of cherry and beef blood. Acid was a little low. Needs a few more years to shed some baby fat. — 16 days ago

Lacked intensity with almost no nose even after 1 hr in the decanter. Eventually woke up but never showed the intensity of the 15. High toned red fruit. More secondary notes including some green notes. Palate was not in balance with slightly bitter tannins alcohol was noticeable. Moderate complexity and length — 9 days ago
