Perhaps it's the insanely aromatic, delicious, soul-satisfying bacon and heirloom beans that my husband paired it with...or maybe it's just that good. Perfumed, fresh fruit, structured, complex, juicy, mineraly (not an official word) I'm happy.

Oof, lovely balance of power and finesse. Wild-grown red and black cherries/berries with a tug-of-war between earth and fruit. Some clay. Tannins still need some integration and this vintage would be best with a few more years; 4-8 ideal. Lovely to drink; enjoyed with duck which was a treat to pair.

Interesting, complex aromatics. Some brettanomyces funk at first and then fig, pomegranate, allspice, clove, pepper, and smoke comes out. As it gets some O2, some tomato and iron notes emerge.
Palate opens with cherry and raspberry leaning to the dried side of things. Figs and dates come to mind as well. The allspice, pepper and black tea notes finish things out. Acidity is medium and tannins are still pretty burley and course, especially given its age.
Another tasty wine from a producer I really like. The purity of fruit, spice complexities, and robust tannin structure seem to be their signature.

High toned raspberry, black cherry and wild berry fruit, leather, sandalwood, dark rose, a little bit of a sanguine note, tarragon black tea, and dominant undercurrent of musk and earth framing it all. Seems to have that halfway chambolle to Gevrey thing. Not particularly long but lots of interest.
Good big body and acidity but still with very aggressive tannins. Really only came Into its own day 2. A broad shouldered wine, and a definite hold m
