Dark ruby; tar, spice, and brambly berries on the nose; black cherry, pepper, and smoke with lively acidity and depth; chewy tannins with a long lingering finish. Maturing already and one of the best from the producers, who have decamped to Bordeaux. — 4 months ago
Chewy, plenty of tannins. I’d enjoy it if the fruit were much forward, I can feel the brambly blackberry. This should be a great food wine (is there any other kind?)
We drank only half the bottle tonight, and I’d love to see how it opens up with more air. The potential is there, it’s a ‘17 and should be nearly ready to peak. — a year ago

Lovely blackberry and bramble but the finish is rough and acidic. — 8 months ago
Intense yet elegant. Notes of coffee, plum, pencil lead, and licorice. Lively acidity with dusty tannins, lingering finish.
Needed decanting and certainly would be complemented with years of agong.
