By the glass in London. Was attracted to this by the Château-Grillet label! The wine was not on C-G’s level, but still quite good. Nose is a bit coarse. Plummy-violet character. Quite light in structure. Slightly hot. Struck me as a young-drinking wine although the consensus below seems to be that it’s an ager.

Only rating it a 90 for now, but it has the potential to evolve significantly.
The palate was a medley of dark fruits, plums, brown sugar, a little molasses with good acidity. The tannins were quite present, I'd open my next bottle in 3 years.

But une bouteille de 2018 en décembre 2021, pas souvent disponible a la SAQ, millésime 2020 actuellement. Vin de la vallée du Rhône d'une grande élégance. Amateur de puissance, de tanins charnus ( vin corsé et sec) vous ne serez vraiment pas déçu.
Composé principalement de grenache, vous y retrouverez des notes de petits fruits rouge, de sous-bois, de garrigue, de violette, il offre une belle minéralité.
Idéale avec des belles pièces de viande rouge sauvage grillé. Conseil, se garde facilement 15 ans. Si vous souhaitez le boire plus rapidement il faudra le carafer au moins 1H avant.

Fruit forward, with strong peppery flavor s of cherry plum strawberry vanilla and leather. High tannin and alcohol , medium body and long finish.

Rustic, intense, spicy with good acidity. Needs age, too young.
