This producer was one of my early red burgundy favorites. Nice production & price value.
For tonight’s dinner, perfect. It was light enough on its feet that it didn’t overpower the Matsusakagyu A-5. It blended perfectly…an even tug of war of Waygu & wine and we had 10 different styles of Wagyu.
Cabernet, Malbec etc. would have overpowered this Wagyu.

Months into....distancing, and I find myself seeking bottles that "just taste good." No complications, no pretense, and pleasure. When I smelled this, it did the job. On the nose: soft oak, plum, brambles, musk. On the palate, good acidity, more plum and cranberry, good density and soft tannin on the finish. Totally solid and very enjoyable.

Finally starting to come around, if a bit young. Big and thick tannins plus ample acidity help temper some very youthful and vibrant red fruit. This is in the "tasty stuff, not profound" stage right now.
