Très bon mais j'imagine que mes attentes étaient trop élevées. Beau nez, bien balancé, une agréable longueur, finesse mais un manque d'amplitude qui m'a laissé sur mon appétit. Peut-être que quelques années de plus auraient fait la différence?

Pnp. This is a very aromatic bottle. Typical St. Joseph with garrigue, animal sweat, smoke, a little Brett, and purple flowers. On the palate this has crushed black fruits on the entry. In the mid palate this has smoke, and then this transitions into an iron streaked finish with pepper and dried herb de Provence.
Very enjoyable bottle. 90-91

PnP via Vinturi. Mild barnyard nose, woody notes but not really much going on. On the palate, surprising richness, dried black fruit, roasted coffee, hint of bacon fat or smoke on the finish, along with some dried cherry. I like this quite a lot! Excellent food wine. Drinking well, probably needs to be enjoyed in the next year or two.

Disappointed in this showing. Very thin, not much fruit. Not terrible, but lacking any excitement.
