April 7, 2022 - Quite tasty, balanced and complex. The blending seems to tick each box bringing lovely red and dark fruit, nice acidity, tannins, herb&spice complexity....

October 19, 2021 - So...what a different experience from the 2014, tasted yesterday.
On nose: ( after 3 hour decant) very faint note of plum skin!
On palate: more pronounced note of Damson plum, wiry tannins, clean acidity, baking spices and espresso coffee on a taut , medium body......this particular bottle seems closed down....more fruit IS lurking under the tannins....surprising, as this vintage has 60% Grenache, a more " forward" grape than Syrah.....give it 5 more years.
