  Nose with a lot of herbs. Medium bodied with raspberries and kirsch, nothing sticks out here and its just tasty, fresh and kind of silky. Leading to an intense finish thats peppery. Not that complex and deep, but its tasty, well made and easy to understand.

  Amazing wine, light, flavorful, could honestly pair with any dish. We had lamb chops and veal and jt was superb.

  Popped and poured. Medium dark ruby color. Nose of raspberry jam, hint of pepper, purple florals, cherry cough drop and a touch of heat coming through on the back end. Similar flavors on the palate with lots of ripe, juicy red fruits, floral notes and spice with a slightly sweet/candied profile to the fruit. Medium acid and tannin. Finishes slightly hot at 15.5% abv on the label. Overall, this is well made, tasty CdP that is probably a little on the young side but just not a style of wine I seek out much these days. Under delivers for the price for me.

  The distinctive bouquet of roses in the nose is just great. On the palate, the wine is supple, silky and fresh with a core of ripe, kirsch and black raspberries with additional notes of herbs and olives. The finish is equally racy and refined. This will be easy to enjoy on release. Drink from 2022 - 2032.

  91/93
  
  Again one of the best values in the area, in a very unique and personal style may I say !
  
  This is full of strawberries, raspberry jam, herbs, and some tapenade, with distinctive freshness
  
  The palates is long enough, subtle and tannins are velvety and well integrated, it is really smooth and silky feel, with loads of fruits and southern character, olive, herbs, etc...
  
  Great Wine again, even better than earlier in the year
