Drinkable, interesting, just enough depth sure. — 2 years ago
fun alpine sipper—not super integrated but lots of very crunchy, earthy stuff. razor sharp acidity, lemon pith, and some more decadent hazelnut flavors swirling around in there. a little too steep on the price for me ($45) but still very lovely on a hot saturday evening. — 4 months ago
Creamy mixture of honey, nuts, apricots and subtle hints of white fruits. Powerful and well balanced, with substantial notes from oak. — 7 months ago

White fruit (apricot and peach) nose and flavor. Complex palette of cream and apricot. Some odd flavors in the finish, unfortunately. — 2 years ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Best on Day 2. The 2013 “Au Paradis” pours a deep ruby with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears and some signs of light sediment. On the nose, developing the wine is developing with notes of brambles, plums, tobacco, some leather and woody notes, vanilla and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and the texture is pretty plush. To my palate, pretty much a fastball right down the middle of the plate and not quite as intriguing as the “Les Pavots” from the same vintage. Drink now with some patience and through 2038. — 5 months ago

Fruit forward with a bigger body and some good but not overpowering tannins. Perfect with our shared beef carpaccio and steak 🇫🇷❤️
