  January 13, 2019 - Very herbal, wth marjoram, basil, and lavender (I actually pulled some bottles from the spice rack to look for similarities) surrounding a sweet core of dark cherry and umami, with surprising persistence. Strangely compelling, it is hard to stop drinking and a pleasant surprise.

• Tony Molester Does not like this wine:

  June 6, 2016 - This wine was thin, devoid of fruit and reeked of brett (which I can certainly appreciate in small flourishes from some producers). Very rustic tannins. Some mourvedre was detected, but can't say how much. As for the garrigue itself, no sign of it...
  
  I didn't get the impression the wine was past its peak as much as it never got past mediocre in its lifetime.
  
  Avoid.
