January 2, 2024 - Probably too young, but this wine is delicious now. Deep ruby color with an almost black core. INtense nose of sweet blackberries, blueberries, and dark plums with a hint of rasiny tones (a bit "cooked" fruit). Full bodied and smooth attack in the first part, expands on the mid palate where sweet blackberries and plums as accompagnied with fine, but rather dry tannins. The aftetaste includes spicy tones of vanilla, black pepper and provencal herbs in addiiton to the sweet fruit. Long and very concentrated. As always an impressive wine from this estate, but I think this vintage was a bit too marked by warm tones in the fruit (raisins) and somewhat dry tannins. Maybe the tannins will melt over the years, but what about the somewhat "cooked" fruit? That is a tone that usually gets accentuated with time. We'll just have to survive some more years to see.

August 11, 2023 - Senteur de tabac et de fruits noir. Aussitôt dans la bouche, nous avons l'impression qu'il sera puissant, mais c'est tout le contraire, très doux avec une longue finale. Encore très jeune mais il sera incroyable dans plus de 5 ans.
