June 16, 2023 - Still fresh, vibrant red fruit flavors. Medium body, some nice edge on the finish.

June 7, 2023 - Fresh but muted. A very nice CdP. Still fairly tannic at its age.
Agree with the review below - “restrained” is the right word. -

May 26, 2019 - This is just lovely restrained CdP that you can drink a whole bottle and want more. It doesn’t jump out and wow, but there is nothing wrong. Just lovely balance. Amazing value.

September 18, 2018 - Medium bodied, with a salty accent to the garrigue dusted, crisp, red fruits. This should drink well young. The wine is made using 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre.

July 5, 2018 - Rich red and black fruits, ashy earth, exotic spice. Generous, round and supremely food friendly. Perfect with BBQ wings.
