No decant. Tasted good right off the bat, but is fading in the open bottle. Herbs de Provence and blue and blackberry. Medium-full bodied, with slightly grippy tannin and medium-high acidity. Drink now. 89 (98 views)

Loved this. Luscious mouthfeel and oodles of dark fruit. There was a hint of sweetness. Reasonable length in the finish. I wish I had more. (560 views)

Dark purple in the glass. Nose of blackberry and garrigue. Opens with blackberries and dark cherries, oak and alcohol are apparent, but not overwhelming. Eventually transitions to garrigue with a slight cola note. Tannins are still apparent during the medium length finish. 15% ABV. At 9 years old, this still seems fruit forward, and the tannins suggest that it might go longer. (904 views)

Agréable. Ça s'est mieux intégré depuis 2 ans mais ça devrait continuer de s'améliorer sur les prochaines années. C'est très gourmand au nez et en bouche. La texture est soyeuse et c'est bien concentré. La finale est encore sur la chauffe toutefois. Un beau QPR mais qui doit séjourner en cave. (1154 views)

This has aged nicely. Integrated and balanced. Very soft. Finishes a little fast. I liked it better when it was young. (1056 views)

Not sure if this has entered an awkward phase, but this was pretty shut down, offering very little of note. The decanted half of the bottle was no different. (1043 views)

Classy S. Rhone with roasted peanuts and games red fruits. Juicy in personality, nicely balanced, not too massive, supple texture, and gentle structure. Drinking very well at the moment! (1063 views)

Bien dense, romarin, garrigue, terreux.
Bouche encore d'un bloc, tannins charnus, fruits noirs compotés.
D'accord avec Phil qui l'a tenté en 10-2018. À attendre, et je dirais encore au moins 5 ans. Joli potentiel. Approchable aujourd'hui avec bonne viande grillée par contre.

Thought this was beautiful. Blue berries dominate with silky, refined tannins. Lovely. (1083 views)

Ce n'est pas prêt. Nez de fruits noir, romarin, estragon et vernis. Les tanins sont encore un peu trop présents et il y a une touche de sucre résiduel qui doit disparaître. Assez de fruits et d'acidité pour tenir encore. 3 ans avant la prochaine (?).

Jour 2: bien mieux. Ça confirme le 2 ou 3 ans que je donne aux autres. (1262 views)

Smoky nose with asphalt and scorched earth. Not much in the way of fruit or spice, some brooding black fruits. More lifted in the mouth, with a definite sweetness, medium-full bodied and delicious. Good acid cut and enough tannin for a steak. Not profound, but correct and delicious. Drink now-2022 90 (1394 views)

Rather simple, even on the second day. It is fresh and inviting if somewhat middle-weight and uncomplicated. Blue and blackberry fruit, spice and some hot gravel. Drink now-2022 90 (1546 views)

My kinda wine! First sip was explosive flavor on a dry frame; after that, the berry uniqueness faded a bit, like my taste buds adapted/retreated. What's with that? The wine or me? (2051 views)

Nez et bouche riches et onctueux. Fruits rouges, lard fumé, très rond,presque trop de sucre résiduel, un peu court en bouche mais un RQP exceptionnel cependant. (2441 views)

Strawberry on the nose with flavor of raspberry and blackberry. Slightly tannic with a long finish. Definitely a dry red. Quite enjoyable. (2200 views)

Color is a deep magenta purple...legs are slow to form...
Nose is primary dark berry, meat, herbal/garrigue, earth.....
Palate is leathery deep dark framboise blackberry, earthy tannin and herbs....this expression is all on the dark earthy cooked fruit side of gigondas.... It's excellent but might not be everyone's favorite.... (2218 views)

Dark berry aromas and flavors. Some licorice and spices. Just bought 4 bottles, and still very young, but wanted to try one. Will let the others rest for a while to see how it develops. But, well-balanced and delicious right now. (2131 views)
