Enjoyed over two consecutive days, vacuumed sealed in between. Seems to be in the later stages of development and entering into maturity: medium plus aromas and flavors of tomato leaf, burned caramel, juicy black and red licorice, crushed black and red berries, smoked meat, garrigue, and dirty black rocks. Still shows some grainy tannin with an acidic backbone lingering throughout. The small percentage of Syrah is really showing through in terms of structure. Finishes very long, always a consistent style.

Drinking well. Blue and red fruits. Garrigue. Medium-to-full bodied (closer to full). Alcohol in check. I cannot imagine that anyone who likes southern Rhone wines would not enjoy this.

Mature. Similar to my experience in August 2021, lots of tomato leaf and fading red fruits. Generally disappointing at only 10 years. Drink now.
