  November 30, 2023 - Nez : fruité...baies confites et réglisse, notes florales, garrigue et olive.
  Un vin fruité, ample, chaud...puissant, structuré avec des tannins fins bien présents/intégrés...umami. Son fruit est quelque peu liquoreux avec des notes poivrées. Longue finale. Boire d'ici 2025 ou plus.

  March 4, 2023 - I love the fruitfulness, deep, flavors, and pepper finish, but I will say that I felt very high in alcohol content and taste it this way

  August 12, 2022 - A good CDP that tasted almost exactly as I would expect--with the upfront red fruit seguing into fruit-pepper mix (others said garrigue, I do agree it's herbal but pepper is what is does for me). Strong although the wine carried the heat well; still might soften some more.

  July 13, 2022 - Nose of red berries, lavender, savory herbs and red licorice with some heat from alcohol vapors. Sweet red fruit hits immediately on the front palate, followed on the mid palate by savory herbs, red licorice and cinnamon. Finishes dry with grippy yet juicy tannins. Love the layers of flavors and how the wine presents itself differently from nose to front palate, mid palate and finish. Drinking nicely now but still seems young. Probably would benefit from a few more years in the cellar.

  April 20, 2022 - Beautifully perfumed nose, unfortunately it tastes like perfume. Can't hide its 16% abv. Might have been better younger.
