This is dark and primary still. A tarry nose with a medicinal twist (Benadryl?). The palate is ripe and blocky. Few signs of its substantial age- deep and rich. Like an old school Cornas. Apparently these has 3-6 months contract with skin with minimal punching down which explains their unusual longevity. Amazing stuff. — 3 years ago

Reductive smokey notes. Flint, honey, pear, and stone fruit. Not long or complex, but honest. For S$58 not great p/q — 6 months ago
25+ years in neutral barrels fixed the color here. Firm, midweight, sappy, sweet, woodlaced red fruit. Great length. Still incredibly hedonic— we drank far too rapidly. — 4 years ago

Wow. Right to the reds. No stopping for the rejuvenating brace of champagne.

Dark fig with hints of molasses and some stick and herbal notes. Some tar and dense earthiness. Still good fruit on the palate. Decent — 3 months ago
