May 26, 2023 - This is in a very good place right now. Balanced in all respects. Brambly medium to dark fruits with the elusive garrigue that is always such a gift when you encounter it.

January 7, 2023 - Domaine de la Mordoree - Cuvee La Reine des Bois 2012. Well aged Chateauneuf ! Dark red color, ripe fruit (blackberry, cassis) , garrigue is in the nose while the mouth has intense freshness and minerality. Smooth and creamy , soft tannins and a bit of licorice. Good finish at the palate. One of my favourites since years !
