  December 19, 2023 - Excellent stuff, although it's definitely on the young side still. Complex nose of violet, rose, blackberry, cherry, slate, earth, light smoke, and cedar. The palate even more so with blackberry, cherry, plum, bay leaf, cacao, violet, a bit of earth and leather. Medium body and medium+acidity and tannins. Definitely understand the hype.

  August 20, 2023 - This took many hours to come together—thought it was corked on open—but drank very well, especially the next day. Juicy and dense. Wild berry, with some dark fruit. The tannin are still somewhat tight though very approachable the next day.

  November 25, 2022 - Spicy and painfully young; shows a lot of promise but painfully bitter tannin make it difficult to approach yet.

  September 13, 2022 - Decanted and served right away. Deep ruby. Vibrant blueberry fruit, spice, and herbs on the nose. Medium weight with great chocolatey density and soil. Discretely ripe blackberry and blueberry fruit, a touch of olive, outstanding acidity, and ripe tannins. Wondrous wine that is still in the early going. So clean that it is a shock to the palate for someone reared on old, funky Tempier. I would hold for another 5 to 7 years for full maturity.

  September 9, 2020 - From the list au Bon George. Surprisingly accessible and ready to drink. Showing a lot of mourvedre aromatics.
  Very bloody, leather and touch of brett, mineral nose with fresh dark fruits with hint of red berry.
  I loved the freshness of the palate and the 14.5% were absolutely not noticeable. Integrated tannins.
  Long finish.
