Don’t drink a ton of spirits, but I do sample them when the occasion arises. This was pretty good, very balanced and of course smoothish.

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. — 8 months ago

Sweet with body recommend with a salad or something light to combine full body and light food aperitivo work. With cheeses can be, I had it with salsiki, tartare and salad really good combo — 13 days ago

Medium+ finish ending with fruit, herb and yeasty notes, lively acidity with slight mineral character. Small production, nice! — 4 months 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. — 9 months ago
