Dark ruby color. Lovely aromas of cigar box, leather and blue/black berries. Dark berries on the palate with notes of tobacco, dark chocolate, sweet spices and leather. Touch of mineral on the long and lingering finish. Tannins are quite firm and the wine is beautifully balanced. Powerful yet elegant. Thank you for sharing, Keith S!

Still crushing it, this wine presents now with dark black cherry, lavender, a slight vinyl/inflatable pool toy note Gamay tends to give me, and plenty of herbal/piney deliciousness on the palate. Sappy but cut by a well integrated minerality. — 4 years ago

9.1

Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Zesty citrus aroma, piney floral taste, good but not overly dominating acidity initially, mineral finish. Not aged enough to be aged, but tasting well for a vintage vintage. Acidity builds over next two hours, bracingly so. Not highly complex, but cunningly crafted. — 2 years ago
