February 12, 2023 - medium red color. (note from night 2). Garrigue, raspberry, meat, savory leather/all-spice notes and sweet cherry. Palate was similar. Medium body, medium acidity, low tannins and long finish. Really enjoyed this. great on night 1 and night 2 (and it is a "savory" type of wine so if you don't like that style you won't like this). 93+/-

July 27, 2022 - Didn't take notes. From memory consistent with my prior notes- definitely on the savory spectrum of Gigondas and if you like that (garrigue / tobacco / leather) you'd like this. No barnyard as prior taster noted but not surprised there is some bottle variation - the 3 I have had have been fine. 92++
