January 13, 2024 - One of the biggest surprises this year so far. Full confirmation of the barnyard/elephant dunk in the beginning. This more or less disappears after 1h. Then, the wine displays a lot of tension, high acidity frank fruit notes, loads of warmer garrigues notes and, for some time, quite some petrol notes. All this comes together nicely over time and provides a very expressive wine and an excellent food companion.

December 25, 2022 - Initially lots of barnyard on the nose. It eventually blows off. Then tons of olive tapenade. Very long savory finish.

June 16, 2022 - Wow! What a pleasant surprise! Needs to breath its Brett out for about an hour or so, and after that, it is a home run. Full bodied with ripe fruit with high concentration and focus of flavors. It has silky and ripe tannins with extremely soliddstructure. The fruit is generous and minerality is not very prominent. Average acid. Long length and pleasant finish. A bit of new world vibe in a distinctly south of France wine. It has the charm. This is one of outstanding wines that I have had in this year.

November 13, 2020 - Wow, this has held up really well, especially for a producer on the natural end of the spectrum. Unmistakably from the south of France. Very wild, tons of garrique. Very balanced despite the 14.5%.
However, there’s a pretty strong streak of VA that keeps me from enjoying it. Probably not a sign anything is off, but not to my taste.
