  Corked. Massively so. Last bottle. Darn...

  Brick red, pale rim; herby, faded nose, gravel granules; soft, tiring, grainy; grippy finish but starting to dry out. Drink up.

  Decanted 1h. Dark red, yellow rim, 5 1/2. Generous garrigue nose in the traditional style. Mature, well rounded on the palate, some tannin. Drink now-2017.

  Seemed to be quite muted at first but opened up a bit after a hour in the decanter. Difficult to know if past it or in a closed period.

  Double decanted, no sediment apart from some tartrate crystals. Beautiful garnet red, orange rim, 5. Initially very closed. +3h: opens up although still tightly knit, dark fruits and garrigue. Rather massive taste echoing the nose, a good portion tannin, good finish. Drink 2014-2018. I beleive this wine is in transition, so I'll wait a couple of years until the next is enjoyed. Then possible higher score.
