2009. Similar notes to the 2005. Less eucalyptus notes, more dried fruit. Inky color, iron minerality, cassis driven, pretty fruit, tannins still grippy. Tobacco and mint on the finish. Cork disintegrated while opening, but juice intact! 😁 — 2 months ago

2017: Another good (warm) year for this excellent Sangiovese, drinking young at this stage. Cherry and raspberry fruit, minerals, acid, a touch of tar and mint. Vibrant, with good fruit concentration. Should be a star in 2-3 years. $45-50. — 3 years ago

Heavy cassis with notes of blackberry and spices are the star here. Somewhat musty nose. Paired well with gravy laden pork tenderloin. — 3 years ago

The acid here is the star of the show. Linear and focused; there’s an electricity here that is very powerful like German acid level good. Highly recommend. Drank at Otherside Wine, Glen Cove, NY — 7 months ago

Very floral nose of rose, lavender, and honeysuckle. The palate features more floral notes (rose water and lavender), honey, lemon, pear nectar, Asian pear, quince, gunpowder, minerals, and star fruit. Medium low alcohol and high acid. So much going on. — 3 years ago

The BIG star of the night. Bold, full of flavor. It paired well with the 60 day dry aged porterhouse and frites main course. The color was a deep blood red. The nose was full of earth and dark berries. — 3 years ago

A pleasant nose of brioche bread opens over a fine bubbled, straw colored body. The flavor is very dry, with a prominent acidity and notes of star fruit and wet slate. VERY dry, but a nice champagne. — 3 years ago

See previous notes from 21 weeks ago. The warm 2015 vintage giving more tropical fruit flavours like pineapple. Still vibrant and fresh with medium minus acid. Great to drink now. Can’t see the point of extended cellaring. Looking forward to trying some 2014 Premier Crus from young Benjamin Leroux who is a rising star in Burgundy. — 4 years ago
