This showed nicely from Magnum.

Beautiful, bright, dark, ripe dark and mid red fruits. Softly layered baking spices, excellent earthiness, bright florals with excellent acidity and finish.

Roy estate has one of the best rolling vineyard views in Napa Valley. — 16 days ago

2020 vintage. Last tasted 11.20.24 (9.3). Staff Burgundy tasting. PNP. Medium-medium heavy body. Cola, rhubarb, blackberry nose. Tremendous, back-end, finishing power but first 2/3rd's underwhelming. We'll see where it is in a year. 2.17.26. — 3 months ago

Ripe blackberry, faint mineral, much more fruit-forward than this cuvée usually presents, really drinks beautifully tonight, lovely Beaujolais! — 4 months ago
