2010 is RIPE right now (2022). Beautifully harmonized tannins underlining a punch of black currant and licorice with some wood chips on the finish. Beautiful wine on an excellent vintage. Patience pays. The Braille on the bottle says that.

2011 drinking in 2021 🍷 one of my favourite family run vineyards, where buying futures are definitely recommended. 2011 vintage wasn't perfect though 10 years of age has had a positive effect. Its perhaps abit past due, however solid notes of blackberry notes and earthy undertones compliment a cherry vanilla finish. Lots of smoky pepper goodness make this an interesting and enjoyable spring night home

Dried cherry, forest berry, currant, sage, and cardamon. Crunch cranberry and red currant fruit transitions to herbal tea and tobacco aromas. Medium tannin with a sense of minerality on a chalky dry finish. Paired with homemade caneles.

Youthful garnet colouring with vanilla and mint. Light tannins, short finish but nice everyday left bank from Haut-Medoc, adjacent to Pauillac. 90+

Smokey berry and plum flavors with sage. Gripping at first but slackens over time.
