August 26, 2013 - Smoky, meaty, cassias. Pepper is way down. A little too smoky (charred barrel) at this point. Opened nicely. Better next year?

June 15, 2011 - Bought at the Vigneron's. We popped and poured in Raynaldes France with a dinner of smoked ham steak and potatoes. Along with a bottle of Font-Sane Terrasses des Dentelles 2009. The Varennes was fuller and younger tasting than the 2009 FS. Great full mouth on a big bold wine. Easily mistaken for a good CdP. Will improve significantly still so hold em.
