  February 17, 2024 - 100% Grenache Noir from 120y vines (on the highest and steepest north-facing vineyard in Maury overlooking the Agly valley) aged in 4-year-old 400L barrels for 18 months. Bottle 310 of 360.
  
  Decanted an hour. Rosemary, cranberry, cherry, desert scrub, hint of smoked meat & florals, pepper.
  
  It paired awesomely with some Montreal-seasoned smoked beef tongue.

I have one bottle which I bought from Moritz directly when I visited his operation in Roussillon a few years ago, and which I am holding onto with anticipation for another year or so.
