March 5, 2017 - smoky spice. black pepper, clove, black fruit. some meaty notes. quite tannic, this could use a bit more heft to stand up to the structure. Good QPR.

September 3, 2015 - Spicy, smoky, brambly, intense nose, loaded with dark raspberry and very sauvage; palate equally intense with very tart fruit, strong Grenache bitterness, medium plus body, showing some grip on the finish; impressive and loaded with character for wine at this price point; I would prefer to let this settle for another year or two.

January 30, 2015 - A classic GSM, seems dominated by Grenache, extremely juicy stuff. Served at 16 degrees Celsius, this presented itself perfectly with lots of locale, garrigue and a abundance of fruit. It will keep, but the showing right now will be hard to match, the balance is wonderful. (with BP at L'Artichaut, Montpellier).
