This may go down as red wine of the year for me. Which given the time of year and upcoming events is High Praise indeed. But none the less reality. Epic nose. The unmistakable smell of a slaughterhouse over summer. Meat and blood. A huge hit of licorice, leather, and smoke and cherries. The Finish lasted nearly a minute, and had a Mossy granite tone to it that reminded me of climbing in the gunks in the fog. Amazing. So fortunate to have been asked to share this with great friends. #poolwine — 7 years ago

Restrained bouquet. But elegant on the palate. Cassis, other black fruits, subtle spicy notes. Fine grained tannin. Medium acidity. Pleasant finish with a hint of cedar wood, smoke, anise, and nutmeg. Ready now. — 8 years ago

2005. Powerful and brooding dark fruit. Starting to give a bit on the palate, but still early days. I think it needs another five years to really start singing. Showing great potential. — 10 years ago

This 2002 started out a bit tight with the fruit hanging back but about 20 min in the glass unleashed a different animal - fleshy, deep and amazing elegant fruit - what a fabulous wine — 10 years ago

Sweet and savoury nose of ripe red fruit, cherry, currant, vegetal notes, Brussel sprout, cauliflower soup, cucumber, leather, underbrush, mushroom and Asian spices. On the palate the wine showed sweet, ripe red fruit, cherry, currant, vegetal notes, cucumber, tobacco, spices, caramel as well as mineral and balsamic notes, paired with medium-plus lively acidity, fully integrated tannin, a smooth mouthfeel and incredible length. The fruit became less pronounced as time passed, to the benefit of the tertiary notes. A medium-bodied, medium-complex, well-balanced red Burgundy that drank young for its age and seemed to be good for another 10+ years. I liked it a lot. 93 — 11 years ago
