November 22, 2023 - I like STANROCK's tasting review. Three years later, this is still hitting all the right notes. While drinking well now, it will provide even more palate pleasure in the next few years. An all around excellent Gigondas with a solid qpr.

October 19, 2023 - I will follow another reviewer's advice, and give it more air. For now, it's fairly simple. Mushroom and lightly confected sour cherry with slightly unripe tannins.

September 29, 2022 - Nice nose with herbes de provence and tart red fruit. Good acidity to go with food, especially cheese. Tannins still pretty firm. Probably could have aged a bit more but alas my last one.

September 30, 2021 - Grenache Night (somewhere downtown Clermont Ferrand): Quite on the closing side now...
Leave it for a couple more years, but after a few minutes and some air, the wine starts to eventually get back on its feet.
Nose of currant, bramble, a bit of smoke, but still on the closed side
Palate is a bit tannic, not showing so well as B4, with some good length and a classic black berries and sooth ending
Will gain in aging now
