Baseball and Burgundy. Is there anything better? Sappy, sultry cherry and sweet earthy scents. Nice balance and purity. A little bitterness on the finish, but not a significant distraction. Great value in a weeknight PN.

This is the vintage Xavier really got going. Lovely nose of spice and mineral. Big candies cherries and some sour cherries as well. Palate is soft and elegant with huge fruit. Sappy and spicey with lovely freshness. Good mouthfeel and terrific value. Needs maybe 15 minutes and then raring to go. Terrific sweetness of fruit smothered with spice.

Apr 17th, 2018On a day where lots of little things went wrong (we all have these occasionally), this is the little thing the doctor ordered to get back on track.
Sappy earthy dark cherries and spice on the nose. Open and inviting, seemingly ready to drink, though no doubt can sit a few years. Chubby in the mouth, with dark mineral-inflected black cherry pomace fruit. Pretty damn satisfying at the price!

Jun 1st, 2017Very pretty nose. Red cherries, spice. A bit quiet upon opening but very clean. Palate is deep, ripe and structured. Ample volume and fruit. Serious structure as well. With air I can see this really coming together. Great balance, purity and freshness out of the gates. Length as well.
