  September 6, 2014 - Black pepper, herbs, spices, plum, blackcurrant, and some smokiness on the nose. Red berries on the palate and medium+ tannins. Good finish. Very nice wine.

  October 12, 2013 - Fits the trade description pretty well, in that it's lush and fruit forward. Doesn't taste that much like a "budget" wine, though, as there's delicious ripeness here and great texture. It's only fruit forward in the best possible sense.

  May 21, 2013 - A selection of mostly young vines of Grenache aged in steel tanks for 80% and old barrels for 20%, this Chateauneuf-du-Pape is an intended selection of parcels delivering fruity notes instead of complexity. Indeed, the “Petit Mont” has a nice aromatic, punching, bouquet. Interestingly, the wine displays a good charge of tannins for a 2011, but this is just a tiny information, as it’s just on the introductory level. A strong effort for this level of quality. 87 points
