  A muddy wine throughout with neither raspberries nor La Garrigue. We found no Brett/barnyard notes, as the previous taster reported.
  
  Good acidic profile, ample fruit (still young) and well-made wine. Meaning it isn't that great. But, pleasurable enough with a Wednesday humpday pizza-delivery.

  Somewhat subdued both on the nose and pallet. The barnyard notes were quite strong with this and remained through the tasting. Improved with 2 hours.

  Drinking nicely. Funny, I had this vintage just a couple months ago elsewhere and it came off as a bit flat. Dusty fruit, mostly strawberry for me with lovely herbal notes. Acid held everything up and the tannins were firm yet balanced. Paired with a herb crusted rack of lamb with roasted veg and mushrooms. Perfect pairing.

  Wonderfully complex with rich flavours of dark red fruits and subtle hints of menthol
