Jan 5, 2021. W/Caitlin. Purchased 1/2016. Dark fruit (blackberry, blueberry), earthy. Slightly short finish, but that didn’t diminish enjoyment of this wine. — 5 years ago
Stormy notes of blackberry with mineral undertones. Rich and full mouth with smooth tannins and lightly acidic finish. — 6 years ago
Getting to its prime, but still deeply saturated and concentrated, mineral-forward with graphite, tar, lit tobacco, blackberry compote, violet, black pepper, earth, bacon fat, licorice, and light barnyard. Mouth-filling, with a finish that sticks like a cigar. Paired unironically and exuberantly with a peppery, fatty smoked brisket sandwich which tasted much like this wine minus the fruit. 375 mL — 8 years ago

Splendid mineral nose, silky fat entry, so perfect with creamy spinach & salmon feuillete, selfish! — 11 years ago
Was going to get the 2016 given I generally love that vintage across much of Europe but the somm talked me into the 2015 saying it was more open. He was right - this was delicious, and still traditional and “old school” with a restrained 13.5%. Tons of pepper and dark dark fruit with some olive. Very delicious with nice medium acid and a long finish. — 3 years ago

This is a very complex Champagne with earthy, nutty flavors and a hint of stone fruit. I'm looking forward to enjoying another evening trying to parse out its rich flavors. — 10 years ago

Very good champs. Big, good acididi yet w maturity n lots o character. Could drink another bottle (not really because of the acididi but almost). — 5 years ago

Dark berries, violets, forest floor and pepper leap from the glass. Blackberry bramble, leather, plum and roasted meat fills out the palate. The 2013 is still pretty tight - I'd say should really come into its prime in 2019-2020. — 9 years ago
Lovely leathery bouquet, hint of blended cigar. — 10 years ago
Plum and garrigue, medium body, soft lingering finish. Yes. — 10 years ago
