This wine is still very young, tight and firm, it needs more time and I am happy I have at least one more bottle to follow on in 2022. A deep garnet color, a lovely nose, full of coffee, leather, earthiness, animalistic notes, cherries and so many more lairs of dry leaves , dry spices and tobacco notes, full body, with firm dry tannins, notes of smoky oak and lots of animalistic flavors, long dry yet tasty finish My score 91, drink to 2023 or even longer. — 10 years ago

Dark and thick, syrupy but not too sweet. Tastes like blackberry, oak, tobacco, coffee, dark cherry. Very rich colour, smooth. — 10 years ago

Wonderful wild berry fruit, autumn leafs, deep and mysterious, espresso coffee, bitter cherry, wet tabaco leaf, a salty kale note, very attractive. In the mouth this is full, almost sweet but slightly dries tabacco and cherry fruit, soft, dainty, very attractive, lithe and alive. A great wine! — 11 years ago

funky nose! bright and juicy on the palate. reductive, mossy, but floral nose, and bright raspberry/strawberry/red fruit flavors on the palate. def a good choice for lovers of a gamay with complexity! (of which i am one) — 10 years ago

A lot of really great components--- love the chocolate, chili spice, and coffee---but in the end the sweetness was overbearing. A very good beer still, but more restraint would have made this excellent in my mind. — 10 years ago

Intense ruby red color with nice aromas of ripe dark fruits, mocha, and cigar box. Full-bodied with ripe blackcurrant, plum, creamy vanilla, coffee, and soft spices on the palate. Meaty structure & smooth tannins coupled with nice long length on the finish. Pair well with lamp. — 10 years ago

Not quite as amazing as the 2011 vintage, but similar notes of gasoline and coffee with a nice velvety finish. Pairs really well with red meat. — 12 years ago
