September 24, 2023 - Too much ripe fruit and too powerful for me. Lacks elegance and not sure that this bottle will every find a better balance. Not my thing.

September 1, 2023 - Ripe dark and red berries and good garrigue in both the bouquet and on the palate. In this bottle the alcohol seemed to be more integrated than in the previous bottle.

June 3, 2023 - Very ripe dark berries and a lot of garrigue in the bouquet as well as on the palate. A firm amount of sweetness, ok acidity and tannin. The 16% ABV is a bit disturbing.
