  October 13, 2021 - Beautiful fruit here, focused and up front. Acidity too high for this wine which lets it down, but pairs well with food. Tannins not so refined.

  October 1, 2021 - Manly, a bit raw - you feel the Carignan) but there is core of healthy fruit here, quite alive. Needs food. Not for long term cellaring, no hurry, either.

  December 12, 2020 - Solid, with some nice fruit and minerality up front, but collapses into high alcohol flabbiness, which overrides most of savory notes. Fine, and drinkable, but nothing more.

  October 17, 2020 - Lively, purplish-ruby. Assertive and attractive nose of black olives (or maybe tapenade) and something very like bloody meat. On the palate it's crisp, minerally, the fruit dark but indistinct. But there's no fuzziness: the acidity gives it focus and length. There is some fine tannin on the finish, but not much. if there is oak here, it is more or less imperceptible. Very characterful and characteristic of Cairanne. I would probably be raving about this, but I tasted alongside Brunel de la Gardine's Cairanne, which is at least as good, and £3 or £4 cheaper. Tough competition! Cork, 14.5%.
