March 6, 2024 - Sampled over three nights with vin-vac in between each. The third night was the best. Although still some stiff tannins present, they smoothed out by the 3rd night. Plenty of black pepper to go with extremely vibrant and overripe raspberry and wineberry notes. Some black fruits, dried herbs, Oak and gravel as well. In many ways a typical high class CDP Grenache but with is own distinctive signature nonetheless.

December 16, 2023 - Still very good condition, lively, young and energetic. A bright but deep and complex black fruit with herbal notes. Velvety under the very good integration of tannin. Long aftertaste. Difficult to guess its a granache dominated wine.
