Well constructed. Automatically reminiscent of garagiste St. Emilion. I always love the silky initial mouthfeel, and well integrated tannins on the finish.

Still young. Drinking better on its second day open. Espresso on the nose and firm tannins.

They make wine in a very reductive style so very little air contact. This is the Merlot dominant bland

Drinking well. Dark cherries, a little smoke, and well developed tannins that have smoothed out. Will be fantastic for another decade.

Nose of forest floor and cedar, body appeared to offer promise, but the fruit never materialized and the finish ended with bitter notes. Best served with a rich beef dish

Deep ruby color, nose of earth and black cherry, body tight & closed with red fruit peaking through with medium finish. Balanced but needs time
