Notes of sage, crushed stones, lavender, dried flowers — crushed stones sort of lead the way with the other notes on the edges. Palate is pretty bright with ripe strawberry, incense, finishes with some more preserved red fruit — not overcooked though. Texturally definitely in a drink now style, soft tannins and not a ton of structure overall, but it’s good with clear CdP notes and a nice balance to it.
Quick 30 minute decant. Has a medium-deep blood red in colour. Nose of earthy dark plums and brambly black cherries. On the palate, there are red cherries with some garrigue and plums. Medium bodied with a medium finish. Nice straightforward CdP drinker this is.

Drinking very well yet has significant aging potential ahead.

Thanksgiving 2022, 1 hour decant. Tannic with a bit of funk on the backend. Okay for $20 but not as good as I had hoped for. Garagiste purchase.
