  Après avoir lu les notes CT, je m’attendais à un c9dp plus épanoui, plus affiné par le temps. Bien au contraire, il m’a semblé bien jeune, éclatant, sur le fruité-floral entêtant du Grenache, sur la puissance, la générosité et le soleil. Un vin facile et sans surprise, typé Rhône sud, alcooleux, parfumé (liqueur de fruits noirs-rouges, laurier rose, epices), qui ravira sans doute les amoureux de l’appellation (une structure un peu serrée, légère acidité saline) mais qui manque toutefois du je-ne-sais-quoi de personnalité et de singularité pour le placer haut dessus.

  January 9, 2022 - Seems mature and ready to go. Light on it's feet, elegant, Burgundian in style, this shows Grenache-sweetness but not in the overwhelming form, it has vertical character, fine structure.
