2005 - headed more towards modern style Rioja smelling of cherry, vanilla, blackberry, oak, tobacco, and cloves. Flavors are big and bold enclosed in subtle but thorough tannins: chocolate-covered cherries, tobacco, leather, cedar box, and hints of dill. — 10 years ago

A very green wine, with white pepper written all over it. 12% of the Savoie is covered in this varietal known as Mondeuse (1 of 23 varietals?). My kind of wine! — 12 years ago

Nose of spiced fruit cake and balsam. Dark chocolate covered cherries palate which are still a bit tight. Finish has bright mineral and crushed rocks. I think this is in a bit of an awkward phase. My hunch is this just needs some of the tannins to mellow a touch and secondary Flavors to emerge to become a classic wine. — 10 years ago

Had to raise my rating after the second day. This thing is glorious. Showing crushed french vanilla coffee beans. Jammy, dark chocolate covered black cherries. On the pallet the tannins are soft and supple. Breadth and depth from start to finish. — 11 years ago
