    March 27, 2023 - 100% Grenache Noir from 50 years old vines, Diam 8 closure.

    PnP and enjoyed over several days. On the nose elder berries, liquorice, fresh moss and a sweet touch, on the palate rather dry, smooth tannins, long finish but light on its feet for 17% vol.

    Banyuls for fun, to be enjoyed in its youth, but is still very good with some years.

    May 5, 2021 - PnP and enjoyed over two days. Starts a bit simple and slightly carbonized, improves with every sip and a tad better on day two. Dark berries with a hint of mint and earthiness, fresh and only slightly sweet, medium+ finish. Good basic rimage, easy drinking now and within the next 4 years.

    September 20, 2019 - Roussillon; 9/14/2019-9/27/2019 (Banyuls): Elder and other black berries, slightly earthy, medium acidity and sweetness, without any heat, long finish. Ready to drink but may win with 1 or 2 more years and get a bit smoother, drink now or until 2025, 90+, great price to quality ratio.
