Church incense, blackberry and freshly turned earth. Blood orange. Sprig of mint. Integrated palate with resolved, fine mineral tannins. Clear sense of place. Solid.

More fruit up front. Loght but round with nuances of black cherry and good minerality.

Smokey notes and deeply textured. A bit extracted, and finished slightly bitter. Dense red raspberries and ripe plum. Quite earthy.

Not terribly often that I deviate from Burgundy, but this is one marvelous "deviation". Such beautiful structure, perfect length.

Black cherry, raspberry, blackberry, mossy earth, oak and hints of white pepper. Great structure and quite tannic.

Delicate beginning with cherry, plum, raisin, and currant blossoming into rich, never overpowering fruit filling. Whoever Christopher is, I want to give him a hug.

Tart cherries and raspberries. Lots of fruit. Nice smooth finish. Fantastic with grilled salmon.
