September 3, 2022 - Dark ruby robe with a good amount of bricking, fine clarity (stood up for a couple weeks then opened in advance). Stewed red fruits, animale, and garrigue on the nose with flutters of coffee, menthol, and olive brine (in a good way). The palate is ripe and shows some richness, but there’s loads of energy and thrust keeping things afloat. Red and black fruits vie with tertiary notes for attention on the expansive, verging on luxurious palate. There’s just enough funk to keep thing grounded in Vacqueyras. Maybe not overly polished, but I’d venture the earthy frankness is a virtue. Someone please tell me why I didn’t purchase more. Just lovely with grilled duck breast, potato gratin, and sautéed spinach. Just singing. Strong re-buy, for sure.

October 23, 2017 - One of the only wines that consistently tastes like it’s name. Iron, venison blood, and macerated cherries elegantly smoothly playing together. Just a touch of underbrush and garrigue creating intrigue. I love this wine. Drink or hold, but probably done improving.

October 6, 2015 - Day 1 Olive and blueberry, sweet basil and other fine herbs. Backwards on the palate for the first hour, tannin then fruit. That changes slightly over a few hours. Very tiny ripe blackberries muddled in stone, wet earth, grippy tannic bite, and smoke.
Excellent old world example
Day2 has smoothed this wine considerably. mix of dark berries and exotic apple.
excellent
