A wildly fresh bouquet of violets, lavender, cooling smoke and sugar-dusted blueberries wafts up as the 2021 Pessimist by DAOU unfolds in the glass. It's soft-textured yet energetic in style. Candied citrus hints accentuate cooling mineral tones and crisp wild berry fruits. The 2021 finishes with impressive length yet lightly structured. Violette Pastille and crunchy mineral tones slowly fade. (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2023)

Deep purple in color; plums, black cherries, graphite, and oak on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; tastes like blackberries, dark fruit, crushed gravel, and herbs with a long finish. I love it, but I think I can find some that are just as good for less. It's developing nicely in the glass. Don't get me wrong, it's really good. Nellie says it's good. Esmi likes it.
