March 19, 2023 - Tasting Ground official tasting, Rhone wine pairing (Jerar restaurant): Cote Blonde, Cote Brune + Lieux dits Baleyat, Chavaroche, Mollart Lieux , portion destemmed, 600lt oak 30% new + oak foudres
The wine is big and dense in the nose, massive profile, dark fruit, iron-y, huge density, depth and blood-y
Palate big and powerful, blockbuster, black fruit, very tight tannins, almost bitter from tannins, youthful, a bit spicier too than Maestria, no oak feeling whatsoever
Gets even darker with time -

October 10, 2021 - 1st of 12 so although aware that this may be a bit early I thought I'd take a look. On opening lots of substance, all pretty tightly coiled, and not much fun over the couple of hours I followed a glass. Double decanted. 24 hours later & while still obviously young & from a warm vintage I thought this opened up really well. No obvious oaky notes (as mentioned bellow), masses of dark fruit & earth, tannins & acidity both present but in harmony, powerful rather than heavy. A masculine cote-rotie - at this stage at least, very satisfying, very, very good value and can only get better 92 +++

September 19, 2021 - Completely dominated by toasted wood right now. And tannin. Not enough fruit or olive, bacon etc to balance it out. Even waiting til day 3 didn't help.
