  April 26, 2024 - Should be decanted for sediment if nothing else. Time has done well for this wine. A little funkiness blew off quickly leaving a balanced red fruited and finely spiced wine. Good acidity and integration. Might lack deep complexity but it is quite nice at this stage.

  February 3, 2024 - Shared with a friend over dinner. Finished later in the evening at home.
  
  LOVE the nose on this. Garrigue, potpourri, red licorice, cherry and sandalwood. On the palate a little more fruit driven with blackberry, sour cherry, white pepper, and dried leaves. Fine tannins linger a good 30 seconds in the mouth. Like the taste; LOVE the nose. Overall very enjoyable and pretty much a solid buy every year.

  January 23, 2024 - 30 minute decant. Nose of earthy cherry, rose petals, and a hint of spruce. Bright red cherry palate with sandalwood, cherry pit, red licorice, and loads of wet stones and a dollop of chamomile tea. Slate and graphite start the finish with tannins that are marble smooth, adding leather, red plum, and some citrus zest notes on the finale. Excellent.

  November 23, 2023 - Drank with turkey, dressing, etc., along with a 2010 Brune et Blonde and a 2014 Tensley syrah. A little disappointing, but still my favorite of the bunch. A little thinner and lighter than I had anticipated/hoped, but the nose...cowabunga! All kinds of stuff going on - lavender, herbs, minerals, baconfat, and more. Pleasant fruitiness, but not over-the-top like the Tensley. Good (not great) finish. Everything I'd want, except for the light body and somewhat muted flavors.
