Vintage 1976 | wow, mesmerizing smell! Autumnleaves, truffle, flint. A small taste but certainly good drinkable.

The top cuvee clos papet (100 year old vines) was not made in this vintage - the juice is in this declassified cuvee and is quite good!

Peaking! Drink up. Black olives, leather, peppery, good acidity and tannins.

Silky smooth, dried fruit, brown leaves at the end of fall, fatty deliciousness.

2006. A touch tight out of the gate, but it reliably shows that red cherry and sandalwood that I always get from this estate. This is drinking really well now, I wouldn't hold it much longer.

1998. Nicely developed. Slight barnyard. Dried flowers and herbs. Missing some fruit but very enjoyable
