Vintage 2022 | much character! Purple rim. Cassis, leather. Infanticide but so much potential. We tasted the wine after popped and pour, I am sure with a few hours decanter my appreciation would be + 0,2. The wine screams for food, as tannins are very present now. — 5 hours ago

Light color. Rusty red. Smells like rosehip tea and hibiscus. Flavors a pretty complex and intriguing. Has a bit of a citrus (blood orange) side. Fine and full finish. This is a complex and nice balanced rule of red. — 9 months ago

Medium-deep ruby color.
Aromas of stewed black cherry, roast herbs, vanilla. Sweet, yet simulaneously savory.
Dry. Flavors of cherry compote, vanilla, soft bell pepper, earthy, peppercorn, herbs. Medium-rich, semi-chewy tannins.

Vintage 2014 | dark colour, brown rim. Laurel, tobacco, licorice, supple first taste, lots of character, a bit harsh and rough (was not decanted). Beautiful! — 4 hours ago

9.1

Nice spicy nose, full of exotic notes (ground black pepper, anise, nutmeg, vanilla cinnamon), a bit of white pear plus a touch of honeycomb cake. Exotic & ripe yet very fresh.


Hits the palate quite bold & self assertive - honeyed grilled peaches and (over)ripe cantaloupe with a healthy pinch of nutmeg & vanilla then the mineral & juicy acidity cuts through bringing balance and leading towards a long mineral, salty finish. Quite layered & complex. And yet highly drinkable.
A very nice one! — a year ago

39/38/23 blend of Viognier, Chenin Blanc and Grenache Blanc for this vintage. Yellow white, excellent clarity. Floral and stone fruit notes in nose. Nectarine, floral and Meyer lemon flavors. Pear emerges after an hour to dominate. Light skin astringency on finish with some mineral character. Lightly fruity but mercifully dry, just enough acidity to make it work. Good value. — 3 months ago

Very nice, bold and full bodied for a Syrah. Pleasantly surprised. I had it first with meat and then with pasta, and it held up well to both. Would buy again — 3 years ago
