    April 28, 2024 - Maybe the easiest way to describe it is: a baby Fonsalette. Beautiful nose of anise, berries, and sweat. Really good except the transition to finish is a little disjointed, giving the impression of a sweet finish that moves apart from the acid.

    March 6, 2024 - À l’ouverture, il est riche, savoureux et…massif! Un peu rustique, pas très long non plus. C’est bon, il n'a pas la plénitude des meilleurs.

    24 heures plus tard, il a clairement gagné en harmonie, longueur et dans l’expression du fruit. Gourmand, épicé, poivré, il est irrésistible! Tellement savoureux. Un profil aromatique très similaire au Côte du Rhône du domaine, mais en plus raffiné. Je ne dis pas que c’est un vin fin, mais une telle bombe de saveurs doit être célébrée et soulignée. Seule la longue aération permet de révéler cette plénitude, il faut le répéter.

    Merveilleux Vacqueyras qui sent bon la Provence. 92-93 pts

    November 27, 2022 - Tart. Far better second night. Heavy pleasant anise on the nose and palate; good if you like it (I did). Perhaps a fair bottle?

    October 3, 2022 - Robe rubis avec quelques reflets orangés d'intensité moyennement pâle.

    Quelques légères notes de fraise à l'ouverture puis nez totalement fermé.

    On a préféré garder le vin pour le lendemain. L'ami qui a gardé la bouteille m'a dit que le vin se goutait très bien le jour suivant sur ce qu'on attend de cette cuvée.
    Il aurait fallu ouvrir la bouteille 24h plus tôt.
    Cette note est donc subjective.

    August 8, 2022 - Much better than my last one which I had at a restaurant. This was opened at 9 and served at 7pm...did it very well. It needs air. Grapefruit taste with lots of little fruits/strawberries etc. Nice medium long length. Alcohol came out more pronounced the next day.

    August 7, 2022 - Nez toujours aussi incroyable avec cette signature Reynaud, frais, fin, toujours aussi plaisant à déguster. 92-93

    Gorgeous and complex nose, fresh and classy, very typical Reynaud, gorgeous.

    May 28, 2022 - Opened 24h before and it definitely needs it. The nose is absolutely Reynaud like, floral and on the strawberry jam. Very powerful on the palate, very hot year showing at a whopping 15% alcohol. The acidity is there but tanins are a bit dry. Medium length. Very enjoyable but needs food to pair with. Definitely not a standalone drink

    September 23, 2021 - Medium red, some browny hue; nice sweet licorice, gentle red fruit; rounded, fat, rich, a bit burning end (alcohol = 15%); surprisingly powerful and rich, had thought it would be more refined and leaner; nevertheless very enjoyable
