After some 2300 km in the trunk of my car, this is now served (after a much deserved 3 weeks rest in my cellar) at cellar temperature (about 16°C). I'm of course biased but man, this is good for the €€€.

The nose is violet, red forest fruits and that irony thing which might well be a terroir thing (the soil they grew their vines upon are reddish which tells me they could well be full of iron). The palate is well balanced, with a good acid backbone but some matter too and I see some evolution in the way this wine is made as earlier vintages were much thiner and acid driven and here there's acid, yes, but there is sufficient matter and a very nice mouthfeel, and fruit all along to balance it perfectly. Some lively tannins, kicking things up a notch and a rather long finish with fruits, that irony thing and a bit of bitterness which is very much a varietal thing. I love it, but I'm biased 🙃. — 3 years ago

Very complex red wine with a deep ruby color and purple highlights. Intense aromas of red fruit, earth, leather and baking spices. Pallet features bright red cherry fruit, tobacco, dried herbs, forest floor and cedar. Touch of menthol on the long finish. Medium-plus body and nicely rounded tannins. Nice texture but the wine needs a bit more bottle age. Excellent as always! — 2 years ago

Never had this yummy, jammy, dry goodness before. @Byron C Mayes suggested it and he was spot on. It’s has a prune/currant flavor and a wet forest nose. — 6 years ago
