Great fruit even at this age. The only issue I had besides the slight bell pepper is how rough the tannins were and the coconut on the nose. American oak? Not something i’d think Roy would use. — 9 months ago

A little farmyardy on opening, but still some pleasure in this forgotten oldie from the cellar when it opened up… — 8 months ago
Still showing a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but enough fruit to keep it in check once it had a few hours of air, youthful still, and brawny. — a year ago
Flash tasting; no formal notes. The 2018 “Clos du Roy” is a light ruby and showing deeper, darker fruit and more structure than the 2019 “Clos de Chênes” (as it should). Balanced. The finish is also longer and slightly more powerful than the Volnay. Better after 2028 — 2 years ago
Fruity smell and flavor. Slightly dry.
blend of 90% Merlot and 5% each of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon — 5 years ago
A lot going on the nose. Red fruit, black fruit, meat, leather. Would be a good wintertime wine. Too bad they’re sold out at Kermit Lynch. Devin gave it 💯 — 5 years ago

Light body and color, but intense fruit. Raspberry, and the tannic character of the pips. Very fresh. — 9 months ago
