No notes. Opened by our dear friend who is hosting us for the night in the suburbs of Paris. Great pour. Superb nose of hay, oak, earth and cherry. Nice acid drive, some dusty tannins, raspberry and sour cherry. Give it some time to breathe after opening. — 2 months ago

Tapped this beast on Corbin and I had to go more than 2/3 down the bottle, maybe fifth glass in five separate sessions, before it started to open up. lots of everything, mostly ripe and thickly layered black fruit that takes a long time to unwind. When I finally does, then it starts giving room to a bit of tobacco, leather, maybe even graphite, medium acidity, and a touch of bitterness, coupled with medium grained fruit driven tannins.  — 11 days ago

A glass full of violets. Tannic finish. Complex. Don’t let it open too long or oxidizes quickly. — 5 years ago
Really great and different from previous vintages; slightly effervescent and has some nice savory funk to compliment all the fruit. — 7 years ago

Really enjoy this. It feels like a great snapshot of what made 2015 such a good vintage. Lots of ripe black cherry and plum, with cedar, tobacco and a little earth underneath. The fruit is generous without feeling too plush, and there’s enough acidity and fine tannin to keep everything in balance.
