My favorite of the Gang of Four. Lively without the funk, layers of earth, darkened red berries like starting with prime and ending with pomegranate — 14 days ago

Great stuff. Layered orange bitters, iron, spicy raspberry. Lots of length and nuance, built to age — 2 months ago

Driven by gorgeous extraction, texture and phenolics. Tasting blind I’d be clueless. It starts with an extremely intense nose of compressed green apple skins, compressed green pear, super concentrated yet super fresh phenolics. Palate shows off the supreme texture, so viscous but not lingering, gets taken over by a phenolic bite and a lingering acid-driven finish. What an outstanding effort! (I found out post-tasting that is has new oak, unsurprising but so we’ll integrated that I missed it) — 3 months ago

Drunken night but still made an impression. Black and white pepper and plenty of red berries — a month ago

I’m puzzled. This was the winner for me in a really long and prestigious lineup at a recent tasting, with strawberries, raspberries, and a delicate elegance throughout. Now it just smells like beer. I’m thinking it may need some extra careful pouring given the big lees from the ancestral method. I will give it another shot.  — 2 months ago

Cool and balanced, but not jaw-dropping like some of their other bottling. Interesting tannic grip in the end — 3 months ago

Almost German in style but with a bit more body. No fruit, but earth, mushrooms, a pleasant animal note and some red clay and spice. — 3 months ago

Great stuff! Textbook fruit profile with black pepper, green peppercorn, bay leaf and the whole spice cabinet, both varied and balanced. Palate is vinous, with bright acidity and fine yummy tannins — a month ago

9.1

Very full bodied, on the heavy side of ripe.  dominated by ripe fruit, good autolytic character, creamy texture, slightly below average acidity but still in balance (tastes above its 6 g/l dosage) — 2 months ago

Fading brick, amber rim. Still in great conditions. Strawberry/raspberry profile still there with a thick layer of dust but still some surprising freshness. On the palate it’s mushrooms, turned earth, bramble (stems?), some graphite / pencil shavings. Persistence on the palate is driven by a tingling minerality. Excellent showing, I hope Coravin doesn’t fail and the next few glasses taste just as good.  — 3 months ago
