Took an hour and too young still but showed well. Damp wet earth nose, dead leaves, damson cherry, mint, menthol. Palate is long and sweet with lovely purity and ripeness.

Give it a little time to open up, and you won't be disappointed

Earthy, whole cluster?, herbal, eucalyptus, stale tobacco, very tight- needs more age, high tannin, high acid, lots of red currant and pomegranate would be great in a few yea

Great red with complexity and some body. Very floral, spicy and good length. Trying to buy more. Utterly delicious mow but lots of potential.

Pop and pour. Swoon. On the nose: soft earth, pomegranate, cranberry, so elegant. On the palate: lovely acidity, solid density, pomegranate. cranberry...so lively and juicy with finely grained tannin on the finish. Still showing loads of fruit and a bit of secondary with plenty left in the tank.

One of my favorites from lafarge on their “lower” end. So great and absolutely drinkable now.

A lovely btl., though darker than I expected. On the nose: black cherry, soft mulberry leaf, a hint of pyrazine. On the palate: good acidity, blackberry, some stemmy notes, good density...finely grained tannin on the finish. Solid.
