A great material is matched by an excellent use of oak. High acidities might turn some off. — 5 years ago
2024 spring / summer. Good, though I feel like I have yet to have an epiphany with Joblot’s wines — 4 months ago
A little lean, fruit sadly fading away, still decent but on the decline — 4 years ago
The material is weaker than that of Mademoiselle, but an exquisite winemaking.

Light bodied without being a pushover. Bright fruit, almost a bit green like unripened strawberries with a constant bitter note throughout - like unsweetened cacao nibs — 8 months ago
dark red / purple color. The nose on red fruits and vanilla. In the mouth it is quite ripe, the fruit is very present and gives a good attack with spices. The mid-palate misses its mark but the finish compensates with a flattering stint that is a little dry but still pleasant. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. The finish reveals an alcoholic side that stays in the throat. It's good but for $60cad it's a bit expensive I think. I opened a 2017 joblot last week ... it's cheaper and had a lot more complexity and a lot more aging potential. — 4 years ago
Darker than usual, the aroma is less lively than before but strong backbone material ensures that it is not vapid and vacuous. Less refined and polished than Joblot and Lumpp. — 6 years ago
