  July 22, 2018 - Opened over a few hours, mainly shedding some of it's mustiness. Interesting though. Since I'm not sure this was meant for a long haul it was secondary at 8 yrs. Prob 2 more years in it if you want. Co-ops. Can be good but never the best stuff right?

  July 17, 2013 - This wine earns a solid C. It seems a generic Gigondas with no distinguishable fruit, mid-palate or finish. It was with the help of a nibble of some dark chocolate (88% cocoa) that pulled the score up for me.

  March 4, 2013 - Spicy, brambly red berry nose with aromas of white pepper and salty minerals. Some light brush. Crushed stone. Vibrant acid on the palate with bright, youthful berry fruit. Flavors of bramble, blackberry, raspberry, some plum, lavender and violet with light hints of pepper and minerals. Salty, savory finish. Zesty red berry lingers. Nice wine. Great value and approachable now.

  January 13, 2013 - Decent enough. Nothing special, but an easy sipper. Cinnamon, pepper nose. Quick finish.
