August 22, 2023 - A different experience than my last bottle. needed a couple of hours of air to show pretty, mature wine. Raspberries, cocoa, some animalistic notes. Full bodied. Medium chewy tannin and refreshing dark-fruited acidity. Drink now or soon.

February 27, 2023 - Medium intensity nose of dark fruit and forest on open have way to more brooding notes over a few hours. Low tannin as most has integrated and softened, with medium-plus acidity and not as full bodied as I expected this bottling to be. Rich, stewed and ripe black fruit on the palate with some herbal/forest notes, that seemed to go from fresh to somewhat tired after three hours. A pleasant wine that is best shortly after opening. Drink up.

February 5, 2023 - Brought to a large gathering, shared with friends. No formal note taken.
Brought as a substitute to a cooked 04 Relagnes CdP Les Petits Pieds d'Armand. The was surprisingly elegant. Nice hints of garigue, darker fruits, figs, cured meats, and pepper...but it wasn't a bruiser or in your face.
Had one other bottle a decade back and liked this decidedly more than back then. -

December 28, 2022 - Lovely pure and clean raspberry fruit flavors but still with some animalistic notes. Seems to be at its peak but will stay here for a while.
The tannins are well integrated and overall, it is a wonderful wine!
