Nose of lavender, dark chocolate, silky dark red fruits, vanilla notes, uncrushed black pepper, pine bark, plum and driveway tar. Silky palate, medium to full bodied, that starts with ripe red fruits and evolves into slightly smoky flavors, with dark red berries, pencil shavings, more baked pie crust than pure vanilla, tobacco and tannins that grip lightly, but dance in the background of a dry, slightly hay like finish that lays meaty on the palate for quite a while. — 2 days ago

I was surprised at how good this was, and how vegetal for something so full of energy! Smell of crushed stone, fresh cut, tart green fruits and serious vegetal, celery like notes on the nose, with a little sea salt as well. Palate is tart and mouth drying, light-to-medium bodied, with nicely pronounced acidity, with some subtle, jerky like elements underneath, crisp, tart yellow fruits, maybe apple, with a looong finish with that acidic energy darting up and down the middle palate. Really a great wine. — 17 days ago

This needs a lot of time to open up, even with 8 years of age, which shows only in the color, but MAN is this refined juice. Even after bring opened after 2 weeks the bramble fruit and muskiness is prominent. — a month ago

Velvety red fruits, vanilla, rubber industrial tubing, cracked pepper and wet forest floor permeate the nose, with a slight malo character that pervades, along with an overall floral element that wafts throughout. You can tell the pedigree with this. Deep red/purple coloration on a medium to full body, and even though this in young, the acidity seems well aligned, with tannins perfectly integrated, dry, but not austere. Palate is rich and refined, with prominent red fruits, not overly jammy or fleshy, but silky plums, black cherries, granite or graphite, with pencil shavings, slight balsamic characteristics, and a loooong lingering dry palate that lingers for quite some time. Really impressive for a wine so young! — 9 days ago

Always so refined, with a beautiful amber color and bold nose of crunchy, ripe yellow fruit. Nose has notes of lemongrass, fennel and lemon rind, and like, moth balls, or something that reminds one of grandma’s house potpourri. Medium to full bodied, with a bold mouthfeel, notes of overripe opal apple, golden fig, latex, hints of pineapple and amber, and a loooong finish that sizzles with energy long after the sip is finished. — a month ago

Funky, slightly earthy, natural nose, with hints of grass clippings, overripe yellow citrus, mushroom and maybe even a hint of butterscotch. Color of a lightly deep, golden hue, like yellow gold, medium bodied but surprisingly the palate is like a dry Normandie cider! Crisp, fresh, and dry, with some tingly funk, and then something like acidity or minerality emerging to the edges, with a nutty apple cinnamon like finish. — 16 days ago

9.6

Deep, dark ruby with a suuuper perfumed nose of ripe cherry and crunchy dark plum, with slightly bark notes and maybe even a little mint and balsamic showing in the background. Light medium bodied, with beautiful flavor and well integrated tannin, there’s still SO much energy to this, with strange and fun note of things like pine needles, balsamic, pomegranate, peppery notes and ripe plum, with hints of black mulch and iron integrated throughout. — a month ago

9.1

Crisp green apple and underripe stone fruits emerge over a dry nose, with fine bubble and medium body contain the pale-yellow color. Surprisingly not really any Jura strangeness. The palate is dry, mineral driven with prominent yellow fruits, fine acidity and a long dry finish. A great, accessible value — a month ago
