Medium garnet , narrow garnet rim. Really elegant , meaty red fruits , red rose , touch of spice. On the palate lovely balance , with fresh acidity , suave tannins . Red cherry , strawberry, raspberry , touch of sous bois. Long on the finish , earthy , chalky finish. A model of elegance, and drinkability, really incredibly moreish , got better and better over 2 -3 hours . Showing well now but will continue well over the next 8-12 years — 4 months ago

Great nose and showing signs of maturity. Lurid aromas of red berry fruit, smoked meat, granite, herbs and smoke. Really gorgeous nose. Unreal terroir expression and so so vivid. Brilliant. 9.7 nose. Palate is ripe and juicy with terrific freshness and purity and all red fruits. Maybe a hint of cassis. Such freshness and energy here. Long finish. — 2 months ago

So much going on this, but most notable is the pronounced savory cola note on the mid plate, maybe more time will subdue it and elevate it. Great wine balanced and earthy. — 17 days ago
