  June 2, 2016 - Decanted for 40 mins. A strong nose of dark berries, plum, blackberries, with a touch of barnyard. On the palate, fruitiness, but not overpowering and with a bit of herby garrigue. Quite nice and certainly at its peak, drink now.

  August 20, 2013 - Popped and poured, allowed to open up in the glass for 15 mins. Hmm, this would have needed a longer decant. Lots of red fruit, cherry and strawberry on the nose, rather rich with a hint of bacon and tobacco. The palate is rather silky but with rich red fruits, voluptuous if you like, good tannins. A rather nice wine at the moment, but nothing very special, perhaps a bit of a disappointment. Will leave the last bottle for another couple of years to see what comes of it.

  September 10, 2011 - Opened about an hour before tasting. Had with dinner, no chance to make any serious notes, but this came across as a very fruity wine, with lots af dark fruits like plum, luscious and full. Very nice with a steak, wonderful wild mushroom sauce and fried brussel sprouts.

  July 20, 2011 - Visiting L'Oustal Blanc (La Liviniére): Tasted at the winery. This is a fascinating cuvée made of 70% Cinsault (no oak) and 30% Carignane (in oak). It was meaty with dark fruits, some tannins and a very elegant feel to it. Very nice!
