Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2017 (S) pours a garnet color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and signs of fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with pretty notes of mostly red, tart fruit: strawberry, raspberry, Montmorency cherry, licorice, dried green herbs, menthol, and rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and just a touch mousy but within the acceptable range. Refreshing and a lovely pairing with burgers on a warm Spring evening. Drink now through 2032.

Pizza night done right. 4 years old and needs a minute to open. This is an aging experiment.

Lapierre to the rescue after a run of forgettable wines! Reduced at the outset, reveals special substance underneath. Lilac, macerated cherry, strawberry, herbs. Electric, super vivid and intense as expected. Just plain tasty. Glorious match w roast chicken

Beaujolais at its best. Big, pretty floral bouquet, bright and fresh fruit, followed by woody herbs, with an earthy undertone. Finishes forever and ever amen
