Still a bit closed but give this 30 minutes and it’s wafting violet and black currant. Vivid fresh soil. So floral. A favorite. Always sweet, delicate, mesmerizing.

In great shape—cigar box, pepper, red and blue fruit, dried herbs, some cocoa

Beautiful. Purple flowers galore, a bit closed at the moment but still plenty of enjoyment. Prior notes apply.

Feel like I dipped into this case 10 years too early. In many ways a nicely drinking wine but still in the gap between primary and secondary. The up-front blackcurrent leaf and blackberry notes are fading but the elusive cigarbox, truffle, and earthy tones have not yet started unfolding. I'd give it another 6 years minimum.

Mas Daumas Gassac. Brilliant wine! Try to find a good bottle 82, 83, 85 or 89. They will surprise you! Love this rustic claret style

Violets with an herbal sweetness. Transparent black currant, some tannic firmness and some heat. Bit of Musk. Closing down a bit?

A beautiful and soulful wine in the making but jumped the gun by at least 5 years
