  September 23, 2018 - Tasted vis-a-vis Pegau 2005, this was certainly the weaker wine - not surprisingly. rather light for the vintage, but very true to the terroir, lots of garrigue here - and sweet Grenache. On day 2, certainly on the way down.

  September 30, 2016 - Excellent wine; much improved over the bottle consumed 2 years ago. Brilliant clarity; ruby color; medium body. Good level of acidity to; pairs very well with foods. Soft tannins. Tastes of berries, herbs, anise and flint. Opened quickly; no need to decant.

  March 1, 2015 - Opened to powerful alcohol smell; subtle aromas of candy and dried cherries. Initial tastes of red licorice; salty; smooth sea rocks. Let open for 1 hour and the strong alcohol subsided. Tastes then of dried cherries; spice,; minerals and coffee.

  February 3, 2014 - Elegent red fruit and herbal nose. Full bodied, smooth palate but ended with a rather tough, spicy finish.

  January 12, 2014 - CdP tasting dinner. My least favorite of four, this could become unbalanced over time, and has a bit of a tough, hard, rustic style. Long, but somewhat hot. Modern and cough syrupy for my palate, especially compared to VT and Pegau. Has some time in hand, but not sure this will improve. 90pts.
