Légèrement fruité dans aller jusqu’aux moelleux classique, leger côté minéral. — 3 years ago

Smelled like fresh baked pizza out of the oven at first pour. Continued to give off plenty of funky and herbaceous character for a couple days. So much savory character here backed with bubbles. A unique thing yes — 5 years ago
Second tasting 10 months apart and always a favourite for me. CNDP with a northern character, red fruits, livelyness marked with notes of red fruit, cranberry, herbs, peppery, blood orange. Superb vivid material in the mouth, intertwining with intensity tannins and acidity. Even after 9 years it still seems very young and lively. Wine that may confuse some consumers in search of classicism.
Deuxième dégustation à 10 mois d’intervalle et toujours coup de cœur pour moi. CNDP au caractère septentrional, fruits rouges, vivacité marquée aux notes de fruits rouge, canneberge, végétal et poivré, orange sanguine. Superbe matière vive en bouche, entrelaçant avec intensité tanins et acidité. Même au bout de 9 ans ça paraît encore très jeune et vif. Vin qui pourra dérouter certains consommateurs en recherche de classicisme. — 2 years ago

My last bottle of this deliciously weird Napa blend. Nose has an olivey herbal note to accompany ripe cassis, and in that regard reminds me of some Napa Cabs from the 1970s when that was a (nice) thing. Also some warm gravel notes and a touch of subtle wood. Soft and mouthfilling, it’s got equal part dark fruit and savory notes. Great balance. Long finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Grenache, I believe. — 2 years ago
A delicious Merlot based Napa blend.
Showing black and red fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco, spices, peppercorn, coffee and mocha.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and easy drinking with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.
Still young and would be better in 5 to 10 years.
A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
14.6% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Wow...a coup de coeur. For a 1er cru it has the stuffing of a grand cru. Very long aftertaste with all the power upfront. — 5 years ago

Stellar wine. Deep ruby. Black fruits across the board. Acid down. Still some tannin but unwinding gracefully. Bitter chocolate. Sweet tobacco. Cedar. Vanilla. Baking spice. Dried fig. No signs of slowing down. — 9 months ago
