Not a compromised/oxidized bottle like our prior, we're doing great tonight! Ripe white peach and cooled yellow apple slices .🤤
Paired to duck confit (D'Artagnan) over green/red lentils with a hit of Dijon mustard to get the acid balance to perfection. — 4 months ago

Medium ruby with medium red ruby rim . Quite discreet aroma at first , then red cherry, strawberry , a chalky mineral element , touch of sous bois , and spice. On the palate quite fresh red fruit , strawberry and cherry mostly , quite light bodied with good quite crisp acidity though slightly short on the finish . This is still quite primary , fresh fruit , so good to enjoy now and over the next 5-10 years perhaps . Almost the cheapest of the red burgundies on the (rather expensive !) list here , and a good pick. — 3 months ago

A very decent burger for the price. Dark, almost dark ruby. Brooding and savoury. Dark and blue fruit, wood spice, chocolate and a touch of mushroom funk. Simple and a bit short but good flavour profile. — 5 months ago
Struck match, slate and caramel aromas. The oak starts the show with a big lick of caramel and wood spice, then the middle and end become very linear. Citrus, wet stone, and grassy notes. Lots going on here. Would be even better in 5 years. For $65, good p/q burg. — 7 months ago
