First time try this producer with very high hope. First time tried amarone like way of making wine. It is aromatic with sour cherries, spice and pretty good balance of acidity and mineral. Tannin is pretty resolve and with a mild bitter core and some sweetness. Smell of light barnyard and fig and menthol. Overall ok. Burgundian like — 10 years ago
Crisp and a little creamy. Pretty but not memorable. No hangover so maybe there is some truth to what they say about high vs low quality champagne. — 10 years ago

Excellent. Pleasantly bitter with a dark chocolate finish. Try using it in place of sweet vermouth in an Anejo tequila manhattan with Fee brothers Aztec chocolate bitters — 12 years ago

Blood orange,liquorice , strawberry, violet (?), grilled meat(?!) on the nose. I could spend the evening with my nose upon this glass! What a nose ! Blood orange again on the palate which tends to have this bitter feeling all along the acid backbone. Red fruits around there too. Not as Burgundian and ethereal and precise as the chateau (cdr) in the same vintage but I can feel the lineage here. The finish is long with a bitter salty touch. Wow again. For a 13€ price-tag I could have this any given day. Perhaps one of the best value ever encountered. I can’t wait to open the big big brother fonsalette — 8 years ago

Chocolate-y brown nose, with malty coffee, caramel and a smidgen of maple and wheat bran. Frothy cappuccino head with sudsy lacing. Wooden, dark-toast entry shows a mousse of some finesse, a rootbeer type character that becomes honeyed, then bakers Choctaw, but always with a sugared black coffee playing shadow. Ends with an expansive, bitter kola nut hangs around to make interesting conversation with your taste buds. Her name is Caryatis, and her wooden demeanor should not be taken as a surly distillation of her character, but merely a symptom of the Sazerac she had for breakfast. — 11 years ago

First one. Light and abit of burgundian feel. Mineral, chalky, stone, and savoury. Hint of tea leaf and slight bitter. Not alot of fruits — 8 years ago
