December 3, 2023 - Fantastic!
Just received as a mystery case from last bottle.
Great balance with just the right amount of fruit forward.
I wil buy again. -

May 5, 2023 - Very similar to the 2018s which I finished drinking last week. I love the fresh red fruits which feel a little denser than the last 2 vintages. Black and red raspberry on the finish with tame tannin. Will be rebuying. 4.0 stars.

October 5, 2022 - I suspect this would appeal widely with luscious fruit mix, some herb and spice notes, with tannins and acidity that balance well and are not over-bearing. A pleasure to drink this fresh and juicy wine.

April 6, 2022 - Classy GSM blend. Very fruit-forward, some sweet red berry fruit from the Grenache, some spicy notes from the Syrah, medium acidity, no perceivable tannins. But it has some complexity too, maybe as a result of the very old-age vines (70 years). For less than 10€ this is an amazing value and very high quality for a daily drinker. We had several Lafage wines recently and most were excellent for the <10€ category. A very good food wine that will work with many dishes. Drink now. Plastic cork. - 88 points
