An epic way to kick off late night revelry. This is a fantastic bottle to acquire whenever possible. Fruit leather on the nose, black fruits, plums paired with hi acid content that turns up the volume. Finishes with gentle tannins. a complete experience. Best with DOCG pizza

Solid bourgogne. Acid on the heavy side makes for a good long play at a 2 person dinner party. 4 pizzas +++++++more!

Out of the gate, a high-acid skeleton with plenty of reduction. With time it filled out well. Food is still required. The fruit seems deeper and darker than it did with this vintage in 2015. Herbal nose. Black strawberry, gravel, clay, orange zest. Appealing. Perhaps less complex than the Skeveldra but more quenching.

High acid, tart cherry. Limpid. Clean. Awesome foil for earthy bœuf bourguignon. Do not forget the food with this one because the acidity is high enough to throw it out of balance.
