Very powerful wine in tasting alone, but which goes well with grilled meats. Bloody and juicy but very intense on the palate with great maturity. Meaty aromas on a good balance. Despite its power it remains pleasant with a rustic side. Very intense peppery finish over a good length.
Very good but I am quite perplexed by the surge due to the popularity of the domain.

Best of recent vintages to drink young - IMO- just a touch of spritz. So integrated on the palate, no hard edges. All about the sexy txtures. Delicate. Floral. Olive. The fruit (black cherry?) is supple and clean, yet almost refreshing when couple with the acidity. Pepe wines have an uncanny ability to capture so much freshness. Not sure what else to call it. Drying tannins permeate the finish. As always will live a while. Excellent.

Needs a lot of air (as expected at this stage). Dark fruit, some violets, black olive, very strong structure, drying tannins and acidity. Very good length. Recommend cellaring this some more

This was deeply pitched, quite dark, with purple fruits and olive along with a strong note of lacquer. Having never had the bottling, I was struck by its weight (not a small wine in any sense). It should age nicely.

Nose of olive and meaty notes.
