  Delicous. In a similar vein of Saxum and Booker etc but a little more delicate and not quite as much depth. Still loved it, great for the price. Need more. Give it another 3 years minimum

  Decanted the wine for 30 minutes. Initial taste was very musty and a initial smell was bad. Eventually opened up a bit and we did get mature fig taste and a long finish. Still not very good 82 out of a 100

  Deep purple color long legs hinting at good tannis. Full nose of blackberry carmel with a bit of herb. Opened up full after 1.5 hours uncorked. Texture typical of grenache blend. Had with marinated steak. Great match. 93/100.

  2+ hour decant. Tannins well integrated but could still could go a few years. Lush dark blackberry raspberry and cherry, balanced by medium acid, with a hint of cinnamon and cedar, long finish. Really enjoyable for this big style of Rhône blend. Bottle went fast haha.

  Needs a while to open up, but nice and complex. Some spice and medium tannins.
