Community Tasting Notes 20

  April 11, 2023 - Two hour decant, showed clean and pure on the nose but the funky animale is stronger than I remember it being. Still, balanced and complicated by lavender and sunny fruit. There are layers here, on the nose and on the palate. Very good wine.

  April 22, 2022 - Not quite as good as the bottle we had in the south of France a few years ago, but that is likely due to ambiance, decant time (none this time) and price (restaurant markup is hard to stomach).
  But still a really nice bottle and I don’t regret the choice. Great with our steak. Medium bodied and more restrained red than mist ‘steakhouse wines’ to be clear, this is not a typical steakhouse wine. Lovely slightly funky nose, peppery and red fruited on the palate. The nose outperforms the palate this time. I think with a longer decant this would be a few points better.

  October 30, 2021 - I found it fairly withholding. But looking at other reviews, maybe I didn't decant for long enough?

  September 28, 2021 - Decanted for close to two hours, very much closed at first. Opens up to show complex and beautiful nose of lavender and musk and that wildness of Provençal herbs and earth. Fruit too, dark and sweet. The wine stays elegant in every way, and is well balanced and bright. Excellent.
