Lovely perfume of crushed black cherry, spiced plum, raspberry confiture, and woodsy aromas. Made more complex by background elements of cured meat, turned earth, smoke, dried orange, rhubarb, beets. Not a power house packed with richness this vintage. Acidity is bright and the perception of chaptalization is in balance. Rustic tannins with a felt-like texture bring posture and lovely tactile components. A touch drying now, but beautiful at the table with roast duck and lentils.

Nov 6th, 2022Showing great. Tannins could use some resolve but aromatically the oak is starting to seep in. Still a rustic charm that Guillemot always has that I love. Impressed by the dark fruit this possessed, black raspberry, black cherry, red blood orange. Savory elements like fennel, forest floor, sweet tobacco starting to pop up. Great glimpse of where it's headed.

Bright red fruit. Crunchy, crystaline texture. Super youthful. Delcious but needs time.
