  January 8, 2022 - Rosemary and thyme on the nose, dark cherry, forest floor, garrigue on the palate. Very enjoyable wine. Punches way above its modest price point.

  July 4, 2019 - Based on drinking the 2015, this was probably once much better, now getting dull. Still decent but doesn't shine like the 2015. Drink up if you've got it.

  May 5, 2019 - Not as well received as what other reviewers noted. Perhaps a bad bottle? Too harsh and uninteresting for me.
