Past its prime, but with enough cherry and cedar flavors to provide interest. The slightest bit of freshness compels a second sip. A wine for yesterday.
Quite advanced and a bit oxidative, which is possibly reflective and a manifestation of the warm vintage, but not without requisite freshness. There is just enough acidity to hold the deeply pitched…
Clean and lean, with a sanitized delivery of fairly predictable yellow citrus and white stone flavors that are surely tasty, but a bit uninteresting to me overall. Lacks some intensity and…
A great showing tonight with a 1er Cru-level performance. The initial pull was especially full of cranberry and red berry flavors. Slightly thin for the first few minutes until it has a chance to…
Almost a year ago since my last note. This dips its big toe into 1er territory, if but just missing that next level of intensity and focus. It's straight delicious and overly agreeable (aka: I tapped…

Yellow citrus, lychee, citrus zest, meringue, orange rind, lemon and lime zest, white rock, and hits of creme fraiche notes. Complex and vivacious, with a balanced delivery of verve and flavor.…

Dark black and red cherry dominant, with hints of vanilla, crema, wet limestone, and faint spice bark. A little more on the black fruit spectrum. A notable mid-palate for such a base-model wine, with…
