Drank with SG friend for a hairy crab meal. very blackcurrant and taste abit like sweet port and bitter sweet. after some air the aroma got better with blue fruit, floral and mineral. overall drank too young but the overall impression is dark bold port sweet like character with a classic blue fruit napa nose. i like it — a year ago

Popped and poured. The 2021 “Cuvée Réservée” pours a deep ruby color with a deep but transparent core; medium+ viscosity and moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe red and black brambles, spiced meat, black pepper, some purple flowers and stony minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This comes across lighter and more Burgundian than the last handful of vintages; almost giving me some 2014 vibes (which is a vintage in the last decade that I adore). It’s really good and shows a bit more elegance that I quite like. Looking forward to tracking this vintage as time goes on. Drink now with some patience and should be cracking through 2041 with ease. — 10 months ago
