Barnyard funk, ripe red fruit, cinnamon, oak, cloves, and cola. Medium tannins, high alcohol, high acid, and medium finish. Big and hot. — 2 years ago
Chilled this burgundy felt restrained, minimal, and one dimensional. As it opened up though, paired with a delicious bouillabaisse, escargot and the best foie gras I’ve ever had, thus started to really come into its own. Medium body, a refined minerality but with delicious notes of crisp apple, baking spice, and an some richer, pastry like notes on the finish, this wine truly came into its own with some warmth and time. Not too rich, not too dry, a perfect balance of crisp fruit, minerality, and baked richness for shellfish dishes with a tomato base. — 3 years ago
Try and try again until a bottle like this appears. There’s a fragility to this wine for sure, but I couldn’t ask for more when the smell of cherry liqueur filled the room as it was uncorked. In the glass, it unfurled with aromas of dried roses, truffles, and a touch of black tea. The colour was kind of like aged Nebbiolo, though leaning towards the ruby red hue. The palate was light-bodied with notes of cherry liqueur and an interesting mineral streak. The wine held on to this state for about an hour before it started losing a bit of life, with madeirised fruit notes appearing. Very pleasant experience. — 3 months ago

Such a deep gold color. Palate is smokey, flinty and honeyed. New tweed jacket. Hint of VA. But really a unique Les Filles. Very complex aromas. Luscious, pure and balanced. Wow this palate is super elegant and nimble for this cuvee. So juicy and almost weightless. Gorgeous finish. Closed but my goodness this is stunning. Amazingly textured almost tannic on the finish. So wonderful. — 10 months ago
