April 28, 2024 - Similar notes to 2 years ago, but not as expressive / intense as last time. Stewed prune and some cedar on the nose. Palate is a bit drying, dusty, with hints of garrigue. Long (-)finish. Served with grilled, butterflied leg of lamb.

January 15, 2024 - Tasted multiple times with consistent notes. Textbook nose of cherry, confit plum, fresh earth, blueberry, garrigue and spice. Richly textured and broadly structured it displays impressive dark fruit concentration on the palate along with notes of roasted meats, orange peel, fig, peach and herbs through the fresh, quite poised finish. Just entering its prime drinking window it'll offer plenty of pleasure over the coming 6-8 years.

February 5, 2023 - Hints of pepper, plenty of acid. Not great, not bad, a little bit underwhelming right now.
