Nose is midway between extrovert and introvert. It gives up nice scents of crushed granite and warm sandstone overlaying fresh deep blackberry fruit. An iron-y note as well. Medium-bodied and very fresh, with lean, minerally, clingy flavors and nice acids. Very together.

A great vintage for this wine. Smokey BBQ sauce, floral, raspberry, gamey, olives. Palate is soft and juicy with tangy freshness from the berry fruit and nice velvet tannins. Terrific freshness and acidity. Such juicy and vivid fruit with a nice granitic and mineral bite. Terrific.

Based on deliciousness this is a 94. Nose is fruit and blood. Palate is dark fruits and acidity. Palate staining. Almost umami like. Awesome wine. Just absolutely joyous. If you had this in a smoky bistro in Paris with Onglet it would be the best night of your life. Bought from Fass Selections.

Just enjoyable. I loved it. An experience of tasty dark red fruit, with brambly earth and minerals and black pepper.
