  September 3, 2019 - Pleasant surprise as the oak is fully integrated. While this is not STGT, there is lot of character here, fruit in the darker end of the spectrum, upright with good acidity but maybe more of a Bordeaux lover’s Gigondas.

  February 3, 2017 - Vibrant and fun; oak completely integrated, quite concentrated and very fresh Grenache is left. Nice acidity and balance, quite elegant, will go on, goes to show how these wine can age.

  February 1, 2016 - The warmth of the sun is more evident here than in the '99, of course, but balance is fine, and while there is sone alcohol shopwing, the fruit dominates, it is broad and mineral at the same time. The sweetness of the Grenache and the coolness of the high altitude vineyards is what keeps this wine, and this will certainly keep - bit I think it is peaking for those who like bits of primary fruit still left in the wine.

  March 22, 2014 - Still quite primary, dark wine, just a hint of transparency on the edge, spice nose, with a lot of the 2000-juiciness showing in the taste; fruit quite massive, powerfull stuff, albeit delicious, underlying notes of licorice and some coolness and minerality from the place keeps everything under control. The wine is drinking very well right now, probably peeking, will keep the very last bottle for library-purposes.

  February 26, 2011 - Still quite young with a good amount of tannins left, but is is also a hearty, beefy wine, and think there is enough fruit here to last. Balance is ok and the oak is not owerwhelming. Drinking quite well now, getting better in the glass, and I will let the remaining bottles rest a couple of years.
