Wow. Still needs to be decanted. BOLD flavors of olive wood and smoked meat. Savory umami off the charts…. Terroir firmly in place. Medium finish. Drink it now — 2 days ago

Wow was this funky. Left it out overnight. Got better. Some crunchy fun gamay underneath it all, but too much barnyard. — 6 months ago

2024/9/3-4. A refreshingly limpid, cranberry red. Flowers, red berries, evergreen forest and iron - Gevrey with a little lift. Sweet fruit and acid with a mineral spine on the palate, and again, limpid as opposed to opaque. Will today’s wines be like this in 5-10 years? — a month ago

Deep ruby. Shy nose. Good balance of acid, tannin, and mid palate fruit weight. Red and dark fruit. Decent grip. — 7 months ago

Drinking well now but will clearly open out and develop in time. Lovely soft raspberries and great length and backbone. — 4 months ago

Earthy and brambly; seems tight? but 8 yrs in bottle should be sufficient…. maybe there’s just not all that much going on. Underlying cherry and red liquorice, but very background. Perhaps it’ll open in a couple hours… — 5 months ago
