August 31, 2023 - Big raspberry nose. Mouth coating brambly red fruits, white pepper, leather and licorice. Great complexity for $25. Mourvèdre/Grenache with a touch of Syrah. Great acidity, fine tannins. Classy. Prime drinking window now.

Nez expressif, vieux cuir, viande fumée, prune cuite.
Bouche intense, réglisse en confiserie, tanins rapeux, malgré les 8 ans de garde, l'alcool bien perceptible, liqueur de kirsch.
Peux sans doute rivaliser avec une viande sauvage braisée.
Trop costaud mais dans ce style, bien fait. -

September 25, 2020 - Toujours aussi bon ce vin (et le blanc est délicieux aussi).
Même pour une année supposément moins bonne, on se retrouve avec un rouge velouté, fruité, équilibré et qui compétitionne avec bien des C9P à plusieurs $ de plus!
Encore une fois un solide RQP.
Avec des salaisons, c'est un grand délice.
Peut vieillir sans doute un 4-8 ans mais c'est tellement déjà bon après 1h de carafe que c'est difficile de patienter (et pas certain de l'amélioration potentielle de toute façon). -
