Translucent garnet, savory nose of smoky mesquite/loamy soil/herbaceousness, red currant, black cherries and blackberries, green bell pepper and stewed tomato on the back but not overbearing. Beautifully balanced and in a great spot after 30 minutes of air

Should’ve let this one rest longer but I couldn’t help myself. Rougeard look out.

Mineral nose to start. Pink quartz. A little charcoal dust too, then cedar and violets. Nose has some green pepper but body is so red fruited, sweet-tart, transparent, sappy, herbal and delicious. Fairly advanced; not much tannin. Has maybe 5 years but I’d drink this now.

Decant and skip the burnt match stick nose by waiting or Add a penny, give it air. It's silky in the mouth and would love to see what happens in 4 hours.

Opened up. Then opened up again. Then opened up one last time. Held its own with 1983 LeRoy Volnay Santenots on the table... well. Pretty well anyway.
