May 7, 2020 - I love Minervois and love this dark, concentrated wine. Blueberry, blackberry, black licorice, sweet spices, and a velvety texture. Bright acidity keeps it balanced. Lots of earth and long finish.

September 29, 2019 - This wine is a great example of Minervois...earthy, not afraid to show fruit, balanced, and nicely age worthy. The 13s are drinking really nicely now. There's a deep earthiness with just a bit of anise to give it an anchor. Think of dark chocolates and espresso with herbs de Provence. This is not a shy wine and it's not a simple wine either. For the price, it's amazing.
