December 18, 2022 - Not to missquote Yoda but "so easy to fall for, this bottle is".
A great blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Cinsault, 100% matured in tank (concrete I believe).
A lot of spices such as star anis and bay leaf on the nose, together with wild raspberry, leather and dark cherries.
Medium full to full bodied feel and a lot of finesse and freshness to be found. The complexity is in such a great balance and makes for a wine that is as versatile as it is delicious, in loss for more poetic descriptions. -

June 17, 2021 - This is by far the most underrated wine of the CDP 2018. This wine is outstanding with peppery spices on the nose, alongside notes of mixed berries, leather and garrigue, while the full-bodied palate is expansive and velvety. A sort of sweet strawberry is dominant with this wine. EXCELLENT.

November 25, 2020 - PnP and very charming out of the chute. Intense and fruit-forward with core of strawberry jam and fresh black cherries, a touch of violet and some savory notes of salt-cured black olive. Good concentration and good length, medium acid, high alcohol. You may want to chill this wine to moderate the heat.

October 12, 2020 - Fruity and fresh with black raspberries, herbs, cherries and earthy notes, the wine is medium-bodied, herbal, olive-stained and leafy, ending with a sweet, juicy, silky kirsch note in the finish.
