  October 9, 2019 - From a magnum, very characterful Rhone blend with lots of wild herbs and spice. Getting into that figgy leathery spectrum that characterises older Rhones, but very much an indepedent spirit with this one. Much life in this bottle and just superb value.

  June 18, 2012 - Very aromatic. Strong anise and vegetables smell. Sufficient minerality on finish. Went great with white beans and sausages.

  February 1, 2010 - Popped and poured. Clear dark garnet. Nose at first had intense celery, pepper, and blackberry. Later, the nose had smoke, leather, black cherry and licorice. Palate of black cherry, anise, minerals, and espresso with very good finish and refreshing acidity. Youthful but sweet tannins. Excellent QPR. Addendum: Day 2: Drank with Cherrystone clams in a lovely tomato sauce over whole grain pasta (can't have everything). Still has that interesting herbal celery nose, but it's more subtle today. Fresh sweet fruit on the front end, spicy fruit on the mid-palate, and nice finish. Youthful tannins very much in evidence. Full disclosure: my wife didn't much like it. She is a bit of a woodchuck.

  December 21, 2009 - A great grenache wine and a bold expression for the Southern Rhone. Great nose with a dark ruby color. Good fruit with spice on the back palate and a medium finish. Drank this with lamb chops - great pairing!!
