Beautiful wine at this point! Aromas of dark spicy fruit, some leather and a tough of garrigue. Medium bodied with good acidity, dusty tannins, and a long satisfying finish. I am in no rush to drink my last bottle.

Modest nose of black fruits and crushed rocks. Beautiful palate. This is has the flavor profile of the Southern Rhone but with excellent acidity and minerality! Crushed/crunchy blackberries, black raspberries, vibrant acidity, dusty, coating tannins and a long, mineral and squid ink (iodine/iron) tinged finish. This is in a wonderful place now, but should drink well for another 5 years. Outstanding! 93

A nose of dark fruit and spices, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied Rhone blend, with black cherry, plum, licorice and spices on finish, very good, drink now. www.winelx.com

1st of 3 for me and it's drinking well tonight. Medium (+) ruby to garnet color. Aromas of dark and dark red fruits, a little floral, a little meatiness, and some graphite minerality. Medium (+) body, acid, and finish, with flavors closely following suit. A good pairing for our beef stew. I don't see any reason to hold these any further, and will look to consume my others in the near term. 89-90

An outstanding wine late in life. Some fruit toned down with blackberry and cassis. Next to last bottle in the case and it has matured wonderfully.
