April 6, 2023 - Pop and pour, drank half the bottle and half the next day preserved with argon. This is a big and burly Rhone, it either needs a few years to calm down or its just unrefined. As others have noted, the 15% carignane and 15% mouvedre stand out here, making it a touch green and unyielding. Try again in a year or two.

October 13, 2021 - More than an everyday wine, but at everyday price. The positive vibe starts with a real cork. The wine has less Grenache and more Mourvèdre and Carignane than most southern Rhônes, and it shows. Dark and sheeny. Polished nose of graphite and dark berry. Grainy, rich fruit. Dirt. Power. Not very long at this time but feels like it will soften and lengthen over 3-5 years.
