  April 18, 2022 - great blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. Deep ruby color and smell lead to soft, elegant red fruit with spice aromas. Lasted very well as it was missing in my cellar and opened 10 years later.

  February 15, 2017 - Taste: Jammy fruit with a huge, quite burning amount of alcohol (14,5%). (86-)87. At the second day leather, bread, clove and chervil in the quite intriguing nose and jammy fruit in the taste, which didn’t leave an impression of acidity. The alcohol was not burning anymore. At the fourth day still more attractive. 87-88.

  February 7, 2016 - Part of a four-year single-blind vertical of Ch. Pesquie Terrasses (07, 09, 11, 12). Pour #4. A more vibrant pour, fresher ruby tone. Nose is a little musky, slight bo. The nose is probably the most generic of the lot. Some cheap funk, lots of red fruit and garrigue. There's a touch of lake/pool to it, I guess chlorine added to a bit of seaweed. Some of this sounds very derisive, but it isn't all meant that way. This has the broadest palate, most body of the lot. Featuring lively, prickly, peppery tannin. Lot of wildberry fruit. Quite a happy wine, possibly the best palate, a bit similar to #2 (2012). There's bigger chunkier tannin here though than others. Guessed as youngest wine based on the fruit density and tannin. This has the most range in pairing flexibility now (power and ability to stand up to big dishes) and the most vivacious fruit with less of the green - your fruity friends will like this. Has time to go. The playful pepperiness reminds me of how the '13 was about 6 months ago (not featured in this flight - why not?).
