Waxy with bruised red apple and Anjou pear with a smidge of honey. Palate shows supple apple fruit with a spiced waxy touch. This was a delightful surprise. — 4 years ago

Black and red cherry fruit mix with a touch of oak spice along with a loamy, mineral accent. Nice Pinot fruit in the palate but missing a touch of texture with leanish tannins. I bit dusty in the finish. Enjoyable but lacks a bit of charm and dimension. Doesn’t appear to be any huge upside to much more cellar time. — 4 years ago

Classic Cotes de Blancs Champagne with lemon, lemon peel and green apple fruit supported by chalky mineral and a subtle touch of lees. Palate is a bit less intriguing with lemon and green apple fruit plus minerals. There is a lack of density and precision with the palate. Seems to stem from the 2016 fruit. Certainly not as dynamic as the wine based on the 2014 vintage. Disgorged December 2020 — 4 years ago

High toned floral, allspice, cardamom and a hint of creamy oak mingle with black cherry, pomegranate and plum fruit. The spice level is fabulous. The palate is round with supple tannins missing just a touch of lift due to the vintage. Fruit tones of black and red cherry play with a dynamite touch of tar and mineral accents. Finish showcases more spice and red fruit character. This is entering a great phase for drinking now and over the next 7 years. — 4 years ago

Fullish nose with Bosc pear, tangerine fruit and a smoky mineral accent. Palate is a touch soft to start with a hint of RS that mingles with orange peel, quince and hints of smoke. Lovely depth on the finish. Fully ready to drink with no appreciable upside. 375ml — 4 years ago

Mature Nebbiolo color. Starts out a bit oxidized with dried cherry and cranberry fruit but freshens with air. After an hour the fruit is derived cherry, cassis and cranberry with notes of violets, roses and warm tar. Palate has dried red fruit notes and balsamic and allspice accents with slightly coarse and drying tannins. Acidity gives lift and really re-enforces the red fruit and spice driven finish. I think this is just past peak drinking but still holds your interest over a few hours. — 4 years ago

Bright fruit with black cherry, strawberry and plum fruit wrapped with supple notes of thyme, mint and a subtle mineral touch. Nose is far fresher than the vintage conditions would suggest. Rich and full palate with dark red fruits, spice and dried herds. The tannins are silky and round. It is missing a touch of Sangiovese austerity but a delight to drink. Finish is full of ripe raspberry fruit and herbs. My last bottle but this is in a lovely zone for maximum enjoyment. — 4 years ago
