    March 3, 2024 - Round, ripe, very well balanced and concentrated, drinking easily at the moment and for many years ahead. Fresh, with crisp acidity offers an intense nose of black currant, plum, olives and menthol. The finish is so juicy, long and intense, offering great pleasure.

    October 4, 2022 - Garrigue, green olive, leafy herb, and peppery, bright red fruits create the nose. On the palate, the wine is soft, polished, and fresh with a lean to the peppery, red fruit side of the style range. It is already showing quite well, so you can easily drink this now with pleasure, or age it for all of its future, secondary development. Produced from a blend of 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Mourvedre, and 5% Cinsault, along with other, assorted red and white grape varieties. 60-70% of the harvest is destemmed. The wine is a product of very low yields as close to 35% of the crop was lost due to colure. Drink from 2022-2037.
