  Revisited after 3 years - see my previous TNs. Aging, mellowing, with pronounced heat (14,5%), but integrated. Expressive, dark, sweet and strong. I miss some body, the wine is quite light on the palate. I don't think this will gain more on elegance, but still has some years ahead.

  60% Carignan, 40% Grenache. 120 years old vineyards. Bold and full bodied, incredibly rich and thick texture. Deep dark ruby colour. Black berries and cherries and sweet woody aromas. Fresh, salty, velvety, lifted acidity. Good weight on the palate, clean, long. Great balance. I confirm my previous TN - this wine will be even greater with some age.

  60% Carignan, 40% Grenache. 120 years old vineyards. Stunning depth, great energy and very grippy tannins. Way too young, this wine has a future of at least 10 years and more. Very fresh, great fruit definition of plum and black cherries, olive notes, pine. This has pedigree to get +2 points with proper aging. A treat!
