A young but beautiful Briords. Smells of clean laundry, sea spray, chalk and lemon peel. Mineral-driven and brisk on the palate, this is intensely young, but showing lots of flowers, chalk, lemon and lime peel, so much crushed rocks, salt and minerals. Cellar-worthy, I'd like to try this again in three-to-five.

Similar notes to last time, but I was picking up all sorts of minerals from this wine as it opened up. Drank a bottle with some friends and it's a lot of fun to sip and let it evolve. Beautiful rose.

Opened a bottle to serve blind for some friends and it was badly corked. Damn.

Nose of cherries, sweet cranberries, roses, red apple, some underlying bay leaf. Nice and tart on the palate but firm tannins, still very young. Red currant mixes with flowers, dust, earth and bay leaf. Subtle wood, notes of pepper and bay leaf, red flowers. Day 2 started to show more earth and mushroom notes. Overall, a very enjoyable wine, but I’d hold off for another five years at least, because this has so much more to show.

Explosive purple color. Smells of raspberries, red currants and blackberries, all thrown together into a mixed berry jam, also some dusty earth, pepper and baking spices. Solid tannic grip, medium- acid. The blackberries and red currants are bold and juicy, dusted with pepper, roasted herbs and campfire soot. A big boy at 14.5% alcohol, less acid than the previous two vintages, but still delicious and well made. 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre.

Bright raspberries and red currants on the nose, some underlying smoke, anise and violet notes. Tangy and fresh on the palate, with crisp acid and dusty tannins. Bright raspberries, red currants, red apple peel mix with minerals, crushed rocks and pencil shavings, and there are some underlying herbal elements. So fresh and lively, quite complex with lots of mineral and rocky-granite elements. Finishes long and fresh. I’m really surprised by how pretty this wine is. Syrah, Carignan and Grenache.
