Medium Ruby with lovely lifted Aromas of violet, cranberry, raspberry, first floor and a drying lavender more. Lovely on the Palate with firm acidity and low and well-balanced tannins. Great length. Vibrant

Apr 24th, 2016Paired with abalone in masterstock, and I must say it was very apt. Despite hailing from Pommard, there's a sort of Asian element to this wine and the palate's robust enough to complement the deep, sweet stock. Quite powerful, but in no way inelegant. The nose was mind-bogglingly airy. Red pinot fruit, earth, spice, licorice, lots of minerality. Excellent concentration, palate-staining finish, rustic tannins. Despite how delicious this wine was, I feel needs time to gain some refinement.

Mar 13th, 2018The 85 was beyond its prime. I waited for 3 hours and it never came around. It looks like we should have had it in 2007. The people who brought it thought it was great... I tasted little fruit and high acidity. Probably not the wines fault.
