I've enjoyed this cuvee a few times before, but today a similar experience to with another post here. This is a somewhat disappointing showing. While the wine is certainly pleasant and quaffable, it feels like it's past its best. The fun, gluglu qualities of the fruit have gone, to be replaced by...not very much. Perhaps not a cuvee that repays aging, or the vintage?

This bottle wasn't as impressive as the first. It may be in a dull stage, although that's not something I often would associate with a Corbieres. It's still lifted aromatically and energetic, just missing any real complexity. Lavender, blackberry, black cherry. Really pretty and summery.

Drank it a couple of months back. I remember it to be odd. Not unpleasant, well made, but very different. Very strong smell of strawberries. Makes a change from other rosés, but wouldn’t make it a regular.

Not as impressive as the hype would have you expect. Perfectly decent red fruit, Beaujolais-like but with a bit more body. Not much else going on.
