Consistent with note from 4/16/17. Happy to see this show up tonight. I can't really have it too much. This blends fruit and freshness in a crisp clean package very well. 91+pts.

Light gold color. Drank 1 glass over 20 minutes. Never had this producer before, good, more yeast here vs the Prie, brioche, white fruits, lightly chalk minerality.

Medium ruby red color. Drank 1 glass over 30 minutes. This was delicious and worked so well with a number of coal and wood fired pizzas. There is a transparency here that makes the wine shine. Old world all the way with plenty of damp earth and soil, but a purity to the red cherry fruit with hints of darker fruits mixed with great aromatics and buoyancy. Definitely a wine seek out. 91+ to 92pts.

Small pour over 20 minutes. Dried herbs, garrigue, dark red fruits, currant, mineral, dusty tannins, medium body.

spiced, Dark red color. PNP, drank 1 glass over 30 minutes. Very earthy on the nose, classic Sangiovese tones, a bit rustic, crushed rocks, red cherries. Very good. Very good QPR.

Medium red color. PNP, drank 1 glass over 20 minutes. Light floral notes, dried earth, red fruits, somewhat firm tannins yet, simple, tangy, and tasty.

Small pour. Pear, apple, stone fruit, minerals, light and crisp with good acidity.

Very pale green color. Drank 1 glass over 20 minutes.. Very good, crushed shell minerality, citrus, crisp and lively, lemon-lime, great value. 90+ to 91pts.

Dark red color. Drank 1 glass over 20 minutes. Black cherry, earth and spices, rustic, sweet round firm tannins, dried spices, medium body. 90+ to 91pts.

Very dark red color. Splash double decanted and was open for 2 hours before drinking. Followed one glass for an hour and followed up the next day. This was not the same bottle that I've experienced in the past. The nose still offers some nice aromatics with dried cherry and dried berry, oak, licorice. But the palate has a more baked cherry flavor, not really in a good way, a blast of heat, oak, and aggressive tannins and simply no curb appeal. It wasn't any better the next day either. Interestingly I found I had made two purchases of this wine, 2 bottles from one source and 1 bottle from another. The first two bottles were just fine and what you'd expect. I have to believe that there was a prior storage/transportation issue with this bottle. Therefore, no score.

The pen had slipped away by this time. This had nice balance and was in a good place.

Tasted. Had been open for a couple days. Can't gage anything as it was just gone at this point.

The nose was much better than the palate here. Nose offers a fairly typical mix of Provencal herbs, red and black fruits, anise, pepper and spice. The palate though was rather harsh and shows a sharpness that doesn't really appeal to me. Strong pepper and a sense of alcohol if not exactly overt. Don;t think this was decanted, maybe that would help, but I wasn't loving this tonight.

Small pour. Sour dark cherry. spice, herbal. Not sure on the vintage here - may have been a '10 too.

Medium dark orange-gold color. Drank 1 glass over 20 minutes. What a poised and delicious elixir of textural delights; orange, mango, apricot, very long and sporting great balance. This brings intensity and ripe fruits but doesn't feel the least bit cloying. Loved it with Brad's lemon tart. Thanks to Brad for both! 93+?pts.
