Smells like strawberry and chewing gum, but in a good way. Medium bubbles. Round, melon-y and raspberry flavor, but dry and with an interesting finish. Solid Saturday wine. NV. — 2 years ago

Color of cloudy purple mixed with ruby. Nose of cherry jam, ripe berries, fermented cabbage, and strength of alcohol. Taste basically follows the nose with addition of solid tannins, and more ripe cranberries note. 2nd sip shows some tobacco leaves and lasting sweetness. Aftertaste shows some more fresh grapes, a bit peppery, and a bit smoky. On par. — 3 years ago

Color of bubbly dark purple, yet quite clear. Nose of milky chocolate, fermented prune, strawberry syrup, a bit fermented cabbage, and a bit gin powder indeed. Taste follows the nose with addition of good quality acidity, dark fruits, ripe grapes, some zest, and low on tannins. Aftertaste shows some more bittersweet note and more ripe grapes. On par. — 3 years ago

Gamay from mâconnais, with aging marked on notes of vanilla, cocoa, leather. Compared to 2016, the luxuriance of the fruit is a little more marked and gives change to the aging notes without being hidden. A well-made duel wine on a classic style.

Gamay mâconnais, à l’élevage marqué sur des notes vanilles, cacao, cuir. Par rapport à 2016 la luxuriance du fruit est un peu plus marquée et donne le change aux notes d’élevage sans être cachée. Un vin duel bien fait au style classique. — 3 years ago

A round interpretation of Madiran, a wine of character in essence. Balanced, with marked but soft and encompassing tannins.

Une interprétation toute en rondeur du Madiran, vin de caractère par essence. Équilibré, avec des tanins certes marqués mais doux et englobants. — 3 years ago

A lot of pleasure on this intense red cherry red fruit wine, with coated tannins, balanced by a dry character and a beautiful mineral tension that gives a very beautiful structure. The whole is arbitrated by a well-melted aging with smoky notes, cedar, tobacco. 2017 is just ready to drink

Beaucoup de plaisir sur ce vin fruits rouges griottes intenses, aux tanins enrobés, contrebalancés par un caractère sec et une belle tension minérale qui donne une très belle structure. Le tout est arbitré par un élevage bien fondu aux notes fumées, cèdre, tabac. 2017 est tout juste assez fondu pour être bu. — 2 years ago

Beautiful syrah that I will really have trouble identifying blindly. Ruby colour almost still purple even after 15 years, suggesting still beautiful years of ageing potential. On the nose, the bouquet is rich and intense, marked by the Bordeaux style, on a beautifully melted ageing with primary notes. The whole is rich and complex, between notes of black fruits (blackberry, blueberry, plum) tobacco ageing, chocolate, vanilla, cypress; evolved undergrowth notes and so on, it's a real taste journey!

Magnifique syrah que j’aurai vraiment du mal à identifier à l’aveugle. Robe rubis presqu’encore violine même après 15 ans, suggérant encore de belles années de potentiel de garde. Au nez le bouquet est riche et intense, marqué par le style bordelais, sur un élevage admirablement fondu aux notes primaire. L’ensemble est riche et complexe, entres notes de fruits noirs (mûre, myrtille, prune) élevage tabac, chocolat, vanille, cyprès; notes évoluées sous-bois et j’en passe, c’est un vrai voyage gustatif! — 3 years ago
