Robe encore bien jeune,d'un grenat toujours bien visible;bouquet typique de l'appellaton avec des arômes de garrigue,d'épices (thym,romarin),de fruits noirs (cerise,groseille).La bouche offre un palais aux tanins fondus,avec une trame très élégante,une ossature assouplie mais sans faille.Longueur finale moyenne.Vaut surtout pour sa suavité et son élégance et son absence de lourdeur souvent présente là-bas.Un bel échantillon.peut encore tenir 5 ans sans problème.

- Ruby color - Jam, luscious, velvety and classic. Coats the glass and tongue with legs and smooth fruit. Not rich in tannins, but reminds me of the fruit in a fabulous pastry.

Full bodied, plush, open and displaying ripe black cherries, kirsch liqueur, garrigue and spice in the nose, the wine is lush and carries it's ripe, old vine fruit intensity all the way through.

Pop and pour. Soooo much fruit on the nose. Gobs of fruit. Initially overwhelming but it evolved in the glass to show interesting cherry, strawberry, rhubarb, and yeasty notes similar to a fresh baked pie. On the palate, very one note on the attack with more of plush, ripe fruit. Missing any secondary characteristics at this point and also lacking in structure which is surprising for such a young CdP. Seems to need time for some complexity to shine through.

Pop and pour at a meeting, no notes but a memorable wine for its impenetrable color and masculine profile. Meat, leather, nori, kirsch, and underbrush notes are backed up by stern tannins. This will be fun to follow over the years.

Pretty over powering fruit at first. Needs to be decanted now. Softens up nicely after an hour.
