Intense earthy nose. Mild fruit and a kick of pepper comes through. Slightly acidic. Nice dry finish. Very well balanced.

Spare, not overly fruited, bit of funk. Open early, then finish.

Definitely let it open up. Meatiness but light at the same time. Did not keep well - so drink all at once before it sours.

Definitely floral and a little stalky. Tannins are soft and acidity is in the right place. Herbal and bright red fruit notes. It need some air and felt a little reductive the first 20 min after opening. A delicate and easy Beaujolais cru. Drink now or keep for 2 more years

2011. Just can't say enough about how yummy this is. These wines are playing tricks on my mind. I love that after 15 yrs of drinking wine I can still be so suprised
