March 17, 2024 - Voldsomme anmeldelser på denne ved slipp - 16 en topp årgang i CNDP men ikke en årgang for de som liker sin vin som en flortynn, rød fløyelspysj. Rett fra åpning var frukten riktignok pent rød, men etter hvert som vinen åpnet seg mørknet det til - ikke på en dårlig måte- med bjørnebær, bringebær, cola, urter, mørk te. Vinen er (selvsagt) ikke i nærheten av de 98 poengene enkelte delte ut ved slipp, men en strålende vin er det.

February 10, 2024 - Wife tasted blind as usual. Guessed old world, must be France. Second sip, must be CdP.!! Initially wound tight but was very rosey. it opened up to reveal layers of cherry compote, raspberries, violets...all wrapped with the Garrigue. Incredibly elegant, pure, with fine velvety tannins

January 8, 2024 - A beautifully crafted wine very elegant with everything in balance nothing excessive just full of class and captivating with every sip with great tension and a hint of acidity on the gorgeous finish. I gave this a two hour decant which did no harm. Very expressive aromatically of ripe hedgerow berries, and forest fungi . One of my favourite domaines …
