(It’s evening). Bright straw yellow. Pronounced nose. Blossom, peach, sweet yeastiness, gentle nuttiness, golden apples and pears, spicy chicken skin soup, sweet baking spices (vanilla, cinnamon). Deep and intense but round and broad, not piercing.
Dry, high acid, high alcohol, full, rounded body, hint of spritz, very saline, nice long finish. A bit austere. Couldn’t quite cope with brilllat savarin but great with the others.

Great wine. Love the light taste but the body is amazing. It doesn’t have an aftertaste but you can definitely taste all the flavors while you’re drinking it. If you’re a cab fan it’s worth a try. — 4 years ago

Ананас, яблоки, лимон, аккуратный нефтяной тон, сухой мед, битый камень. Средне-полное тело с фруктово-тропическим акцентом, хорошей кислотностью и уверенной, но не слишком напряженной структурой. Ещё молодо. Шлейфовая ароматика, увесистый объём, первичные акценты во вкусе. Глубоко, органично и выразительно. Чуть не хватает микродетализации и комплексности фактуры. — 6 years ago
Glorious. Delightfully floral, fruity, typical cab franc notes. Touches of cocoa, toasted almond, herbs, and a real soulful tartness. Truly a wine of balance, with all the complexity of the grape but also delicious now. This will evolve I’m sure but hard to beat how it is today. — 3 years ago

Nose has chalkboard dust, mashed cherries, raspberry, ripe currant, oak bark, (minor) moist garden soil, milk chocolate bar and moist pipe tobacco.
Palate has crushed cherries, orange peel, ripe black currant, blackberry, graphite and medium tannins. Long finish, amazing bottle this evening.
About two years since our last bottle, doing very, very well this evening, can hold another 6-12Y (2026-32) in proper storage. — 5 years ago
Soulful. Needs time to breathe but when it gets some air, it is deep — 7 years ago
