April 6, 2024 - April 2024 Rhone Valley Tasting (K&L): Plummy on the nose, with dark purple and blue fruit on the palate, but a hint of herbs and garrigue, a streak of minerality, and some nice grip from the tannins.
I am not normally a CdP fan, but I think the restrained nature of the vintage made this a little more pleasurable for me than would normally be the case in a more solar vintage. The alcohol seemed in check and the wine was nicely balanced. -

March 16, 2024 - Half-bottle. 14.5% ABV. Decanted for two hours. Ripe red and dark fruit, plum, blueberry, blackberry, garrigue, herbal notes, pastille, spices, liquorice, and mineral notes, with medium-minus acidity, firm tannin that is mostly hidden underneath the fruit, and superb length. Great concentration. But still firm. Very young, and not ready. Drink from 2028. 91(+)

February 7, 2024 - tight, structured, nice gentle bit of spice/heat, well balanced. Drank slightly cold and tricky vintage maybe not showing this wine best right now. hold for development.

January 30, 2024 - Meaty, spicy, flowers, thyme, and peppery, dark red berries pop in the nose. On the palate, the wine really shines, due to its larger than usual percentage of Mourvedre in the blend. Concentrated, rich, lush, deep and intense, you find a minty, peppery edging to the red berries on the mid-palate and in the long, salty finish. The wine blends 35% Mourvedre, 30% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise, and various other AOC allowable red wine grape varietals along with 10% white wine grape varietals. Drink from 2024-2040.

January 18, 2024 - Dark fruited and has some heavy weight to the nose. Just opened, tight right now. Huge, but not over weight. Engaging, needing time.
