May 30, 2023 - Really nice after a 3 hour slow ox, could still feel some tannic structure that needs to shake out.

May 19, 2023 - Truly a wow wine. Not sure Grenache can be any better. Decanted for 6 hours, tannins still present but resolving. Will be great for the next 10+ years. Blue/blackberry previously noted has evolved to more cherry and ripe red berry nose and palate amped to the 9s. Big and bold, finish that never quits. Will be hard to keep from opening the remaining half case for more than a few more years. Excellent

February 3, 2023 - Absolutely prototypical grenache-based CDP. Pure, fresh blueberry nose and taste. Lovely stuff. Both Usseglios make wonderful Chateauneuf, but this is one of my all-time favorites.

May 23, 2022 - Needed a couple hour decant to soften up, still a little tight but paired well with grilled ribeye
