February 23, 2024 - Garnet stone color. Cherry and earth aromas. Clean entry. Dark cherry, garrigue and earth. This was solid with a beef roast, but didn't blow me away compared to other vintages. Ready to drink. 89

August 31, 2021 - Fresh, sweet berries at the open then olive and herbs. And then a slug of heat which got a less noticeable as time went on.

April 13, 2021 - Medium ruby garnet colored
Ripe kirsch aromas and flavors, balanced but with a punch of alcohol.
I’d choose to serve this a tad cool.
Lovely drinking now

July 5, 2020 - Very fruit forward on the nose and palate, with good acidity and tannins to give this wine some depth on the palate. Nonetheless, I was hoping for more complexity and development of tertiary aromas.
