  March 15, 2016 - Decanted.
  Very similar to previous tasting note and still showing nice meaty aromas upfront, scents of cracked black pepper, smoked bacon, dried red meats, blackberries, plum, and blueberries with lighter scents of violets, forrest, vanilla, sassafras, baking spice, sage and lavender.
  
  Full bodied on the palate with excellent medium-plus acidity that keeps the full mid-palate lifted. the tannins are medium-plus and in balance. Upfront flavors are reminiscent of a black pepper crusted, bacon wrapped, char grilled fillet mignon... Supporting flavors of black and blue berries, plum and boysenberry, vanilla, sassafras, fresh sage, light roasted coffee, smoke and touches of gun metal and mineral. The finish lingers with intensity
  Overall, structured and completely balanced between the savory and fruit notes.Still in its prime drinking window

  February 22, 2016 - Very dark ruby color with brighter perimeter. Medium plus body. Opened with spices (Provence, thyme) and oak. After 45 minutes - lots of dark fruits, cedar, more spices. On the palate - nice weight, good spiciness, well balanced and integrated, very mild tannin. Long and tasty finish. Reminds me some good CdP from 2006. Very good wine and right time to enjoy!

  December 13, 2015 - Corked, so difficult to judge. 2-3 years ago in the tasting room would have given a 92-93

  October 18, 2015 - Big nod to the Southern Rhone with this beauty. Nose of dark berries and Herbes de Provence, with a touch of tobacco. Loads of kirsch on the front palate, resolving to plummier fruit flavors and a noteworthy dose of white pepper. Savory notes on the finish. I'd say this is in its ideal drinking window.

  December 9, 2014 - Definitely evolved since my last tasting
  Aromas are meatier upon opening, with air time scents of cracked black pepper, smoked bacon, dried red meats, blackberries, plum, and blueberries with lighter scents of violets, forrest, vanilla, sassafras, baking spice, sage and
