Right in the kisser with this one! Packed a perfect punch of all of the Batman onomatopoeia you could hope for in a bold, bottled beauty!

Black cherry, black currant, good tannin level, more paso polish. Like the C/F level

2018 opened Xmas Eve 2024. This wine has some weaknesses, but it’s still a pleasant tipple. Heavy tobacco on the nose. Sour cherries on the front. Medium light tannic structure. Cabernet on top of a calcaire backbone gives this wine a softer texture on the mid palate — but it doesn’t fully override the initial sour fruit. The long mineral finish that explodes after swallowing is what makes this wine shine. If you’ve got the 2018, drink it now. I don’t think it will develop any further.

Blackberry, blueberry, cherry, soft oak, and pepper. Smooth and silky with a gentle finish but lots of flavor.
