A lot of fruit on the nose, a little stewed but never syrupy. Nice garrigue and olives notes as well, very Mediterranean nose. Balanced and tannic, again a lot of fruit on the palate, blue fruit and cherry, a touch plumy (2007).
Even if this is a rather simple wine, it's really enjoyable. Quite Corsican as well.

Blend of Kotsifali and Mantilaria, indigenous from Crete.
Iodine and seaweed notes. Jammy fruit on the palate with plenty of strawberry on the finish. Lacks structure and dry tannins.

A lot of purity on the nose. Slightly plummy. Med body, tannic, high acidity that gives the wine plenty of energy while retaining its southern profile.
Lovely floral notes, violets and cherry. A touch of licorice. Long finish. This wine really improved over the last few months.

Has a Provencal nose with garrigue notes and green olives. A lot of fruit. Maybe a touch of heat. Full body with lowish acidity, firm tannins, it manages to stay balanced. Some licorice as well. Needs time.
80 % grenache and 20 % Niellucciu, grown on schist soils.

Super oaky right off the bat. Lactic nose.
I just can't go past the oak. Undrinkable to me.

Surprisingly light color. Beautiful nose with earthy and olive notes. A touch of plum as well. Hint of pencil lead. Dark fruits.
Good structure and needs time for the tannins to resolve.
Very nice wine and it's nice to see more finesse, vintage after vintage.

The oak shows more and more as the wine is open. There's a touch of green on the nose wrapped in plenty of ripe blue fruits. Hint of raspberry on the back palate. Full body and quite tannic. Finished on sweet oak notes. Somewhat tiring to drink.

Funny how this wine changed. Initially I found it pretty enjoyable with some interesting tobacco notes and cherry notes. A little funky but jammy on the palate with a short finish.
But on the 2nd day, the oak was all over the place...
