Nov 19th, 2018Second time tasting this wine with different vintage. Earthy, herbal, a little funky, dark berry and cherry note, menthol with wet potting soil, unripe to ripe fruit notes. Distinctive on the nose but tasty!

Jun 5th, 2018Still good even though last time I had it I was overly charitable. Still a memorable wine of high quality.

Apr 9th, 2019Boysenberry, blackberry, a hint of spice; medium acid, medium- body, fresh, balanced, silky and harmonious; lasting on the palate, a winner from the revolutionary winegrower Didier Barral. #kermitlynchwine

Mar 9th, 2018Too young to consume. There is a quality wine in this bottle, but for now, the tannins are too harsh. Perhaps if I had more time to decant it, it would have become palatable. But likely this bottle should not be opened until 2020.
