  VinApogée 2023. Épicé. notes noires de petites baies et zan. La cuve béton apporte une stabilité mais semble affecter la gourmandise attendue des Grenache. 89

  Developing beautifully - mellowed out some since last time I had it, lovely brambly fruity wet earth and damp caves. Great.

  Very low acidity, but nicely evolved, backward, Grenache dominated. Very pleasurable.

  Opened, decanted, and consumed OVER ten hours
  Somewhat opaque and cloudy. Burgundy in color. Full bodied.
  Red fruit, cigar box, touch of leather. Fleeting nose.
  Fruit has faded. Picked up some sour cherries. Wet wool, slate, loamy, medium finish.
  Although there should be a few more years left in this bottle, for me it has declined marginally from the last bottle I consumed over three years ago..
  
  TopTable delivered prepared meals.

  Cloudy, red cherry colored, full bodied
  Herbaceous, spicy, raspberries, sweet deconstruction, mild oak
  High acidity, tannic, tons of red fruit, juicy, tastes like the nose.
  
  Got waaaaaaaaay better hour 3.....
  
  WOW! Great QPR.... What a bottle.....I think it could get another point or maybe even two better in the coming years. I wish i would have bought more.
