A Garagiste wine. Super tight, needs some serious bottle time. Bought a few of these so it'll be interesting to see how it evolves

Rich and earthy. Good now or years from now.

20 years young. Thin and disjointed upon open, but all the parts fell into place after 20 min. Fruit still had freshness; secondary forest floor really present; well balanced; good but not particularly long finish.

Tastes like good Burgundian Pinot to me.

Getting better with time. Second bottle I've opened. First was about a year ago. Nicer acidity and some bright cherry.

Fuller than I expected. Not well integrated. Not sure time will help. Tasty, but not great.

Very subtle burgundy, nice fruit. Took a little bit to open up, and i think it will drink even better tomorrow. But a very nice home drinking wine.
