Served blind and what a great wine. Very ripe Grenache, yet with a cool touch of 2004. Drinking extremely well, and true to the vintage- this is a easier drinking style than many other vintages of this. #Bagnols-en-Fôret

I don’t know how many bottles of this I’ve been through, but this is still absolutely delicious with its sweet kirsch and white pepper notes, unmistakable from the Reynaud stable. Just such an amazing value. Tasted against the 2004 Mont Oliver Papet.

I am rating this with some caution. Tasted over two days and on day two showing some weakness and hints of pruny notes. But at first, it's wonderful with both 2004-freshness and Des Tours' creamy ripeness. Still I would opt to drink up, if I had it. #Bagnols-en-Forêts

Great showing. Sweet, but light cherry and raspberry fruit, pepper notes, herbs. Vertical, balanced, quite amazing after 18 years. Kristine 25.
