Waaaaaaay too young. Nose is gorgeous. Lovely earthy elements. Deep. Lilacs. Beautiful. Super clean cherry fruit. Tastes like a 6 month old wine. Hints of cherry licorice. Silky tanins. Needs another 3-5 to strut its stuff. Will be awesome then. Drink from a Bordeaux glass.

Stunning VV cuvée from original Barjac plot. All granite, Violets and black fruit. A showstopper. Makes Clape and Allemand look modern. Fresh, dense, and oh so granitic. A granitic stank emanates after 1.5 hours. Stunning as it gets.

Just blasts the palate with freshness. Some gaminess. Wow. Bought from fass selections. ... drink from a Bordeaux glass. ... some godly grapy sweetness on the finish.

Delicate and excellent wine with a beautiful complexity. Had it with a roasted wild boar which was probably a bit strong for this wine but the berries in this wine carried it through. A definite winner.
