Jul 16th, 2022Wanted to try one of my 3 bottles of 2018. I know it’s too young and it shows but it’s still great. Nose: twizzlers, ripe fresh cut berries, hint of licorice. This is distinctly gamay and there’s a bit of that cola thing you find in Cali Pinot but it’s tart and savory and clearly gamay. Good stuff. Will drink the next two in a couple years.

1 person found it helpfulNov 3rd, 2019Bottle 2 of 3, drank the last one almost 3 years ago! Nose: raspberry (stewed?) and intense menthol. Palette: brandy soaked strawberries, maybe a little chocolate, wild mushrooms, earthiness, long finish, cherry like. Still tannic, silky micro tannins, works well with food.
