July 30, 2023 - Just like with the 2001, this was a significant positive surprise for me. Old-school in style, surprisingly, good structure. Dusty Grenache displaying dark cherries, garrigue notes, and earthy marks. This has character, the taste of the south. Maybe these wines just need a lot of time in the cellar.

July 13, 2019 - Light to medium mahogany with browning rim.
Quite clear bouquet of molasses, forest floor, stewed ripe fruit, roasted meat and brown sugar. Grenache to the fore.
Super ripe to cooked fruit on the palate with savoury edges and generous noted alcohol (14.5%). (typical of 2003). This wine is sturdy that whilst displaying textural richness has a density to the gum-puckering tannins. There is just about enough fruit left with pepper sprinkled on marinated raspberries but not much else. Drink up. -

May 9, 2015 - Fig, Plum, Bacon, and herb. Integrated tannins, mild but pleasant acidity. Great fig finish. Super wine.
