2022/5/31-6/1 with ayu karaage, hachiku several ways, niku-dofu, etc. This is my favorite of the lower-priced Léa reds - there’s really nice acidity and flesh, and enough age to be fully open with hints of complexity but still with vibrant fruit. Really good on day 2 as well. — 3 years ago
Really fresh, pure, and transparent. — 4 months ago
Already developed into drinking window. Sometimes you have these wines that do not tip the high rating scales, not overly complex, layered or standout elements. No, this is just really well balanced and giving a lot of pleasure and easy drinking.
Funny fact: This cuvee name means badger in Occitan, a wink at the animal who eats Jean-Francois' grapes.. 🦡 — 8 months ago
30 min woke up. It has lots of deep aroma. Black plum, blue and black, cherry and berry. Deep. One of the best among Liu dumon. 2018 @1710, xuaduo - Lazo, 220318-220323 — 3 years ago
Super dark and rich. Enjoyed it with steak but definitely better for deep winter / rich meats. Also: 15% ABV! — 6 months ago
A very good choice when you are in the mood for a perfectly balanced mouthful of that herbal sweet bitterness of a characterful blanc. It has the grip, it has the lenght, but I had no seafood. What a shame! — 2 years ago
2021/5/15 with pan-roasted skirt steak, sautéed broccoli and kale, etc. This is the first among these selections with an unmistakable, rich bottle bouquet. It has a dark, gamy character which is reminiscent of a Northern Rhône red - perhaps a Côte Rotie. Perhaps the character of 1999 is in play here. There’s still a strongly aromatic layer of fruit which reveals itself with air - strawberry coulis and crushed raspberries. — 4 years ago

Greta autumnal white wine for all the fall dishes! Mushroom, earthy notes, and spice. Very full bodied. — 4 months ago
