February 14, 2024 - Drinking great right now. Unmistakably Rhone with Garrigue, earth, lots of grenache fun. Not much serious side, but it's lively and fun. Probably as good as it'll get. Drink now, I think.
February 3, 2024 - Deep red colour with a leather touch to it. Nose is mature with notes of leather and dried cranberries and strawberries. In mouth it's pleasant, medium bodied plus with somewhat dried out tannins, nice acidity and notes of dried cranberries and strawberries, and leather.
Fully mature Chateauneuf here, don't expect this to get any better from here.
January 23, 2024 - À boire. Très bon fruit à l’eau de vie. Pas alcoleux
January 21, 2024 - Very good wine. Deep in the glass with generous scents: blackberry jam, cherries, black pepper, aniseed, slightly balsamic with hints of smoked ham. Tannins well integrated in a full and rounded body. In the ending good minerality and a little salty note.
October 25, 2023 - Bought it few weeks before. Put very good conditions to drink it (bringing it to room temperature since the morning, opening gently in the end of the afternoon for a nice diner with friends), it did not perform on the day, gave it other try in the following day, but was still the same. Not passed but pure emptiness.
Ended up in the sink.
Since that is a recent bottling of the wine (confirmed by the winemaker, that could have just said it was a problem with a bottle, but rather listed me the name of restaurants still buying it), was very disappointed of the quality, specifically in comparison with price paid.
Had been buying those wine since 2016 to 2021, will probably not be doing that in the future.
June 5, 2023 - Drinking perfectly. Mature, yet still with primary fruit, the sweet Grenache rules, sings of the land with plenty of local herbs; a claassic wine, no hurry to drink this, but drinking a point IMHO.

March 30, 2023 - Une belle surprise car le vin est un peu évolué mais il est resté complexe et pas écœurant comme certains. Le vin est aussi très agréable en bouche, fin. C'est joli.
15/20
March 17, 2023 - Friday Group Brown Bag Tasting (EBCC): Raisiny fruit dominates the bouquet and palate. Meh. Others will enjoy this more than me.
February 18, 2023 - colour is dark ruby and clear. nose is savoury, peppery and very herbal with a slight sweet note. palate is red berry, fresh herbs, with pepper and spice. good acidity. finishes with slight bitter almond note.
