  September 11, 2022 - Retail $20. 80% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre. I picked this up from Last Bottle Wines for a paltry ten bucks (it was part of a "Mystery Case" for $120 and I did the math), which is pretty shocking since Robert Parker gave it 93 points (for whatever that is worth). While many here on Cellar Tracker think this should have been consumed a handful of years ago, I can report that this Côtes du Rhône Villages is still holding up quite well. Dark in the glass, even really dark, with little signs of age and an intense nose of Crème de Cassis, blackberry, plum, and black pepper. There is also a slight herbal note of sage and mint. Yum. The palate is also fantastic with great fruit, earth, spice, and balance. I don't know about 93 points, but this is certainly Excellent.

  April 1, 2017 - Very banyardy even after several hours decant. Didn't care for this at all. Another worse than mediocre wine from Last Bottle.

  November 29, 2016 - Hmmm, I didn't expect this. The cork was stained 2/3's of the way. Initially funky on the nose, which blew off with some air. Full bodied and deliciois, dark fruit and nice tannin structure. I may have guessed this to be a CdP if not for the slightly subdued finish.
