  February 5, 2023 - Enorme nez de cerise rouge griotte mûres, caramel and cocoa (probably from the Cinsault)... Huge concentration, not the typical style from Pégau, but huge salty cherries, great acidity, integrated tannin from the Cinsault.

  November 9, 2022 - Hundred Acre wine tasting: Barrel sample. 50% Grenache, 50% Cinsault. 15.5% alcohol. First on Guigal La Turque barrels, which destroyed the wine, then on Burgundy (I forget which domaine) barrels in an attempt to restore the damage done by the Guigal barrels. The idea was to make something elegant, which has clearly failed. This is like a "Port-light", as one of the tasters remarked. It's all over the place too. I'm not convinced...

  October 6, 2022 - Even though the wine is aged entirely in neutral barrels, you find the smell of incense, rose petals, black plums, smoke, licorice, spice, crushed rocks and red fruits. Deep in color, on the palate, the wine is equally massive and balanced. Full-bodied and fresh, the waves of fruit keep on coming in layers of black and red fruits, spice, touches of oceanic influences. As much power as this wine has, there is also incredible elegance and purity. The seamless finish completes the show as the wine remains with you for 60 seconds, or more. The debut vintage of Cuveé Pol comes from a blend that is roughly 50% old vine Grenache and 50% old vine Cinsault. Both grape varietals come from vines between 60-80 years of age which are planted in the sandy soils of La Crau. The grapes are whole bunch vinified and aged in used French oak barrels from Guigal for the initial 12 months. From there the wine rests in small fourdres for 4 months before the remainder of its aging which takes place in neutral oak barrels. The wine is still in barrel after 36 months. Very little of this gem is going to be produced. If you see it, buy it! Drink from 2030 - 2055.
