Wow, this second wine from the famous #apalta producer is stunning. Nose is supremely elegant black/purple fruit, sous bois and dried herbs. The rich beam of dark fruit is offset by the perfect level of acidity on the palate with velvety tannins on the finish. — 24 days ago

Déjà très intéressant comme vin. Quand le bois sera bien intégré, ce sera délicieux. Il y a de la matière, du fruit. Un petit coté racoleur. — 2 years ago

Light and translucent ruby dress. Typical Bourguignon Pinot-noir nose: tangy red berries, undergrowth mushrooms, mild spices. The mouth confirms the aromas perceived on the nose, in a nice general balance. The primary notes are respected, combined with a small discreet toasted side and mineral notes. It drinks very well. 2017 is ready to drink. To be tasted again over 5 years for curious/amateur people.

Robe rubis claire et translucide. Nez typique Bourguignon Pinot-noir: petits fruits rouges acidulés, champignons sous-bois, épices douces. La bouche confirme les arômes perçus au nez, dans un bel équilibre général. Les notes primaires sont respectées, associées à un petit côté toasté discret et des notes minérales. Ça se boit très bien. 2017 est prêt à boire. A retester sur 5 ans pour les curieux/amateurs. — 2 years ago

Fantastic concentration and balance. Opaque purple color with nose of cherry liqueur, roses, dark chocolate and hint of sous bois. Persistent palate with dark fruits and floral elements that drives to a long finish. This is still tightly wound and needs time in a glass or decanter but will sing with a few hours of air. — 2 years ago

There are clarets and then there are clarets - this is the latter. Intoxicating Perfume of currants and tobacco gives way to a palate that is like a time capsule - loads of currants, cassis, cedar, truffle and sous bois. Tannins completely melted. Apart from a touch of phenolic notes in the first 30 mins or so, this is just gorgeous and what a perfectly aged claret should be. — 2 years ago

Performance tres honnete vs son age. Texte book avec des note de cuir, mine a crayon, sous bois, prune confit etc. Manque un petit wow pour etre un grand grand vin. — 4 years ago

Ruby color, translucent, clear. Charming nose, red fruits, spices and evolution, humus undergrowth, with this small particular character of low interventionist and unfiltered wines, without being "natural". Mouth is delicate, and lively. We delight as much in the nose as in the dress, and we come to next glass with great pleasure. 2015 is to drink. Fans of Pinot Noir or gamay will appreciate. Superb for its price.

Robe rubis, translucide, limpide. Nez charmeur, fruits rouges, épices et évolution, sous-bois humus, avec ce petit caractère particulier des vins peu interventionnistes et non filtrés, sans être « nature » pour autant. En bouche c’est délicat, et vif. On se délecte autant du nez, que de la robe, et on y revient avec grand plaisir. 2015 est à boire. Superbe pour son prix. — 2 years ago

9.1

Yet another superb red blend from Nice Winery. 54% #cabernetsauvignon / 16% #merlot / 14% #malbec / 12% #petitverdot / 4% #cabernetfranc - it pays homage to all of the great varietals of Bordeaux. With a modest 13.8% ABV, it overflows with wafts of dark bramble fruit, leather, sous bois, lovely acidity, earth and lush California fruit in balance. Paired marvelously with grilled steak. — 3 years ago
