2011 vintage. First time with this producer. Purchased an out of town bottle (along with a buncha BDX) approx two months ago and finally got around to driving 1.25 hours one way to pick up. Pressed immediately into service tonight. Sweet fill and good cork. Nose a bit musty. Not decanted as I was at home and too lazy for the hogsheads of real fire and whatnot. Light-medium body. Sultry notes of cinnamon, tangerine peel and slightly carmelized brown sugar betwixt drought earth and brackish water. Doesn't exactly sound like an Oscar for a memorable performance but this was firing. Lengthy finish. At the top of the bell curve and tastes like it'll remain as such for another 5-6 years. In that oh so sweet spot for dynamite, 1er Cru red Burg. At (only) roughly $170 a bottle (including shipping this time), purchasing four more bottles as we speak. I'd like to thank the Academy...er...the credit card. 12.10.24. — 6 months ago
Very elegant, subtle nose that pulls you in rather than jump out at you. Best wine in blind tasting of four including Dumol, Hubert Lamy, and Rivers-Marie. — a month ago

Red raspberry with floral notes on the nose. Raspberry, chocolate, pepper with notes of cherry, oak, vanilla and a hint of plum for the tongue. Nice tannins, light and spicy. Needs a few more years in the shelf but quite good. I suppose I expect more at the price point but a quality bottle. — 16 days ago
