  November 16, 2022 - 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre, 15.5% vol. Requires some air to show the remaining fruit, but it is not enough anymore to balance the high alcohol level, should have been consumed earlier.

  November 22, 2020 - Decanted 3 hours before dinner. Typical Grenache nose with red fruits, alcohol is now better integrated than 4 years ago, on the palate smooth, concentrated and long, it's good to not wait much longer for the last bottles as the fruit is fading slowly.

  September 30, 2018 - Enjoyed this more than my last bottle but still prefer this in its youth. Raspberries and silky tannins did come through.

  June 30, 2018 - Fully developed aromas of dried fruits, liquorice, cough syrup, rusty iron, and garrigue. Devoid of oak notes, as it's a concrete wine. Full-bodied taste with melted, dusty tannins and decent acidity. Notably well balanced despite 15,5% abv with refreshing mineral sensations - it carries its alcohol surprisingly well. Drink up, it won't benefit from further cellaring.

  August 14, 2017 - Nose quite closed and not showing much. Palate quite medicinal, flat and bland. My learning with these wines is that they are clearly drink young wines as that's when they show their true character IMO. Overall, beautiful young, disappointing with a bit of age.
