Community Tasting Note

  • RoelD wrote: 88 points

    January 13, 2024 - Approx. 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre and for the rest mainly Syrah with a bit of other allowed grape varieties. Medium deep color with some evolution, a quite muted bouquet with mainly Provencal herbs and garrigue, on the palate some black fruits, harsh tannins, acidity, a lot of heat from the 16% alcohol (even to my own very tolerant criteria) and medium length. This wine seems disjointed right now and might gain more charm and complexity with several years of cellaring. On the pleasure scale this merits only a score of 88 for now. If all the components come together this might score several points more, but it is hard to predict where this is heading.
