January 7, 2022 - PnP. Medium red, red tinged, 4.5. Cool herbaceous like bouquet with some ripe fruit behind. Harmonious palate, medium tannin, medium low acidity, medium body, again harbes and ripe fruit mixed, almost elegant finish. Drink now-onwards

July 19, 2020 - Decanted for an hour. Ready now, good dark fruit with a green streak to it, plums and blackberries. The palate follows with dark fruit, also that green streak there, good tannins. Certainly over the young stage, probably won't get better than this. Went well with grilled foods.

Wine Tally Score [2,3,2,1]= 8/10
Many Languedoc wines show promises that are never fulfilled.
This one turns out exceptionally well.

May 2, 2019 - Ripe and meaty with some smokiness. All in all another successful vintage for the Hospitalet.
