Medium concentration bright ruby. Heady rose petal, raspberry liqueur, juicy red cherry, licorice, hints of blackberry, anise, ripe slightly overripe strawberry, minerality, barnyard, high acidity, fizzy on the palate, med finish, medium tannins, quite some French oak presence.

2024 vintage. Last tasted 5.24.26 (9.3) and 3.18.26 (9.3). 7 months later, taking my own advice and picking up two more cases since we have 5 bottles left from the original, 12-pack case. Did I mention that it isn't even on the wine list? $46 a bottle resto cost. Absolutely shredding for the price and locale. 10.18.26.

Oct 19th, 20262024 vintage. Last tasted 3.18.26 (9.3). Medium/medium-heavy body. Black cherry cola straddling forest floor. Pleasantly astringent. Nice, back-end, palate push. $46 a btl resto cost is, frankly, insulting and woulda picked up 3-4 cases two months ago but long on red Burgs. Short, however, on ridiculously, QPR-driven NSG’s that list for less than two bills (since that bird flew the coop 3 years ago). Verdict: need another case-or two. 5.24.26.

Good tipicity. Lots of concentrated ripe red and black fruit, but between the hint of barnyard, good oak integration, lower alcohol and elegant body it’s very well restrained and enjoyable. Maybe a bit rustic but very well done

Deep, rich, dark cherries, balanced oak. Nice acid to back. A little bigger than I was hoping for.
