  Pnp. Perfect cork. Deep mulberry red colour. Wonderful nose bursting with garrigue, warm spiced back fruit and plum compote, sandalwood and minerals. Just lovely! Medium bodied, smooth tannins, dried fruit extract, balancing acidity, hidden alcohol and a long, dry finish. Beautifully balanced! Flavours of those same spiced black fruits and plums, sandlewood, chalky minerals, light sous bois and black mulch. More time sees it fleshing out and building to a crescendo at the finish. Eminently quaffable! This is in a great place right now! Easy 93 points!

  Un très beau Coudoulet, parfaitement fondu, sur le coulis de fruits noirs, avec quelques épices douces, l'acidité garde la fraicheur et l'allonge est plus que respectable pour le rang... Mioum!

  Final bottle from a full case, last consumed about 10 mos ago.
  Showing fully resolved tannins, lots of tertiary notes but surprisingly, still some black and red fruit flavors alongside mint, anise, tar, cooking spices, and meaty notes.
  Firm acidity keeps the older wine alive and interesting, but I would drink this sooner than later if you like a little fruit in your CdR. What a value.

  Lovely stuff as ever. Rich nose but lighter palate. Some kirsch but it lifts later to be more herbal with some wildness from the Mourvedre. Clean but soulful - a hard balance to strike.

  Silky on the palate, medium length, wonderful balance of fruit showing a prominent Mourvèdre profile. Kept in wine cabinet at 60° for 5 years and I think is drinking perfectly now. Could stay in storage for a couple more years. Pairing of duck leg confit with blackberry gastrique and collard greens. Wow. I don’t think I’ve paired something so beautifully. 92 points. Cheers!
