Blend of 80% merlot and 20 % Cabernet Franc from 3 hectares in Lalande de Pomerol. Notes of dark fruit, chocolate and mint on the nose. Round, good structure, very smooth on the palate. — 3 months ago
Superb nice nose of ripe cherry, a touch of Cola, hays, earth and leather. Wow this is so nice and inviting! The palate is so very well made, with a great acid backbone, some width, some cherry and Cola notes all along. A smooth mouthfeel that turns into a bit of a tannic wall in the rear. That structure is rather uncanny for a Beaujolais gamay! The finish is fruity with cherry but mostly marked by the tannins layer that dries everything out. That's a bold and structured Beaujolais here! — 7 months ago

took some coaxing but the subtle nose revealed lime, Granny Smith, talcum powder and white flowers
flavors ranged from creamy apple, white peach and yellow pears to lemon twist and lime aid

Phenomenal! Dark plum base but layers of exhiberant and concentrated small dark berries and red fruit jump from the glass, but all enveloped in deep, complex earthy tones. Palate is insane, minerality and acidity are tingling, almost sparking on the sides of the mouth, mingling with the very fine lively tannins. So much pleasure without sacrificing any seriousness — 6 months ago

I was disappointed by the amarone before so I popped up this one to find a great reliable pour for the last evening of our guest and best friend from back home (and yours truly last evening before a day off).
What comes to mind is umami. The nose is full on cedar, cigar box, tar, black currant and soy sauce. The palate is massive, wide, grainy, silky, tannic in the rear with a grain, some chocolate and that umami, meat sauce touch that lingers for a very long moment. Bordeaux grand cru classé like you would like it to be every single time. 🥺 — 10 days ago
