Bought for $11.50 at the domaine, yes please. Opens up with a farmyard nose, stones, olives. This is certainly dark in nature, very well contained, old-school Neuf if you will. The Grenache displays dark cherry fruit, rustic notes and the salt again. Great effort, and great with lamb.

I was afraid when I saw the first pour, looked over the hill. Then smelled a little barnyard and got more worried. But first sip was not bad. Raisins and stewed fruit, sure, but not bad. Went well with burgers and fries. And the last glass was worth savoring. Don’t wait much longer.

a bit past its peak, not fully garnet yet. Leather, raisins, stewed dark fruit, barnyard and a bit of VA. Tannins are fully resolved and the alcohol is well integrated, good quality wine but drink now.

A little tired perhaps. Can't vouch for the storage conditions.

dusty tannins, black fruit, chocolate tobacco flavors develop with airing
