2019 vintage. Sorry about the blah picture. No flash. Decanted and tasted after 15 minutes. Forest floor nose. Showing judicious balance between acidity/tannins and fruit now. Representing village G-C nicely noww. Enuff well-made vibes to gladly revisit in 5-7 without any fomo. 8.9.26. — 16 days ago

A beautiful example of what a natural wine can be. Earthy forest, green peppers and pine. Both interesting and delicious. Hard to stop drinking. Thanks J&C! — 7 years ago

Yer ma drinks this (obvi b/c yer ma values deeply wines of unspeakable balance, the poise of a promise in the year of election, & weatherbeaten/Aragorn-rugged claims to the throne.

Hint of the lambic, touch of the forest. Fit for kings, wicked & brave alike.) #yermadrinksthis — 10 years ago

이 와인은 애니님이 도네이션 해주신 와인입니다.
한국에서 판매가가 10후반대 와인인데 이렇게 좋은 와인을 투척하시다니 순간 등뒤에 날개가 보이더군요.. ㅋㅋ
디캔터가 없어서 병오픈 후 2시간이 지났음에도 약간의 산도가 튀더군요
하지만 이내 자리를 잡아가면서 매혹적인 밸런스를 보여줍니다.
미국 까쇼도 상위급은 정말 좋네요..
잔에서 피어나는 농축된 블랙체리 캐릭터와 적절한 오크터치가 잘 어우러져 있고
적당한 구조감과 좋은 밸런스를 보여주었습니다.
시간이 있으면 디캔딩을 하여 좀 더 가다듬는다면 정말 멋진 퍼포먼스를 보여 줄 수 있을 것
같습니다.

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 🙃. — 5 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. — 7 years ago

Gave this a hard decant and let it sit for an hour. Lots of tart red fruit with some lingering forest floor. The acidity rushes up the sides of my checks. Drink now or let it sit for a decade. — 10 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! — 4 years ago
