Relatively pricey, but incredibly balanced and delicious. A bit lacking character and depth. But the balance more than makes up for it

Certainly not one of the most notable villages but this rules. So balanced and precise. Sage, strawberries, sour cherry, bruised plum, fennel musk and rhubarb aromas. Palate was a lot darker in fruits with a very lengthy finish

On the earthier side - mushroom, dry aged beef, black licorice, red fruit - dried strawberry... Nice acid, Med(+) on the tannins and med(-) ABV - 13%. Give me a braised shank. Needs it to match the oak.

2006. Very nice in an iffy year. Lighter style, perfect with fish. Good producer off year
