2008 vintage... Beautiful showing this evening/saline, minerals, white fruits, great texture, nice blast of acidity on the finish to cleanse the palate... Great pairing with grilled Chilean sea bass served with a basil vinaigrette, roasted cauliflower, roasted Shishito peppers — 10 years ago

Black cherry, dry tamarind, iodine, iron, licorice, dried basil, dried chili...and it keeps evolving. 2004 vintage. — 10 years ago
A bowl of fruit. Bright, clean aromas of blueberry, overripe strawberry and fresh basil. The palate echoes the nose with some sour cherry thrown in for good measure. Stays open and vibrant when chilled. Surprising length on the finish. A true vin de soif, I want to drink this from a sheepskin whilst on horseback.... — 10 years ago
