Sep 23rd, 2024I last had the 2011 two years ago. Iodine, smoke, and dark red fruits coming through. Plenty of structure and a tannic backbone to help this last. Serving with pan-seared Moulard duck breasts.

Mar 24th, 2014Thank you, B-21!! This was the perfect Cassoulet wine. Inky dense fruits with a mellow tannic spine. It's nice when it all works!

Feb 21st, 2017When it hits the palate this wine is heady and intense. Deep licorice and garrigue flavors first, then dark jammy fruit. Nose is wet stones and cherry pit.
