PnP and consumed in the next 2h. Natural cork, 14% Alc. Black violet color with hardly any age reflexes.
Nose: Freshness with beautiful herbs.
Palate: Dry mouthfeel, fresh, soft and silky tannins, blackberries, various herbs, slightly dark peppery notes, harmonious and everything nicely integrated. Good complexity, a pleasure to drink.
Very nice wine that surprisingly still has reserves. Two days ago I had the Clos du Caillou Reserve from the same vintage (no notes taken) and would rate both wines the same with similar impressions.

Deep dark in the glass, with garnet reflexions. Delicious, bordeaux-like nose with stable, mature cask character and chocolate. Is it really a côtes-du-roussillon? Must be a bordeaux blend... No way, this a mix of syrah and mourvèdre. Old vines, low yealds (20 hl/ha), massal selections, green harvest. Matured in new oak, well merged with the fine fruit. On the palate generous, mature, with a nice full mouthfeel. Balanced, the 14% nicely integrated. Chocolate, plum and mineral, with hints of spicy sweet fruit that reveal origin and grapes. Excellent southern french, really enjoyable to drink.

This was really, really good. Had towards the end of the night so no note but was really surprised at how well this was showing, wish I could find some more.
