  March 16, 2024 - Thanks to this wine, I got to know another face of this region. The face, which is delicate and refined, where orange and raspberry dominate the taste, but take note, that they are "sprinkled" with a large amount of black pepper. I don't know if everyone likes it, but I do. Why? Because the texture is silky and there's also a flower and perfume effect. Crazy mixture, isn't it? But wait... there's more. A lot of herbs, for your like or not! Very long finish with all of these flavors!
  Smell?
  It's basically the same as taste!
  Orange, raspberry ,flowers, herbs. Strong aromas.
  Wine is juicy, addictive, magnetic.

  March 11, 2024 - Opened up after an hour or two. Very nice, still a little tannic, nice notes of herbs and wood, fairly tart red fruit.

  March 4, 2024 - An ardent traditionalist, Laurent Charvin makes one of the more interesting wines in the CdP AOC. There is no super-cuvée; their best fruit goes into their standard (and only) bottling.
  
  Opened several hours prior to service. The 2015 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, developing with an intriguing combination of fresh and desiccated brambles, Cedar forest, Christmas fruit cake, black pepper, and well-oiled baseball glove and a mix dried green herbs. On the palate, the wine is bone dry, medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, rich and juicy with surprising structure. Delicious. Drink now and through 2030+

  February 16, 2024 - Euchre night (R&D's): Light color with an abundance of garrigue in the bouquet- there would be no doubt as to this wine's origins in a blind tasting. Cedar, white and red currants, and white pepper to go along with the garrigue. Medium-bodied with red berry fruit, garrigue and pine sap flavors. Soft tannins with balancing acidity and a lingering finish. Lovely, with no signs of fading. 92+ pts. (R&D)
