April 12, 2020 - Strong raspberry and garrigue. Black cherry and menthol. Decent acidity and a great mix of fruit and leather. Long finish with largely resolved tannins.

June 26, 2019 - Coravin tasting. Two glasses with a burger. Didn’t get too much of the bretty character that others mention. Quite porty, lots of dark dried fruits: plum, fig etc. Some herbs and garrigue and quite nice oak. Classic CdP really. Definitely ready, little tannins in this now (which is a problem I often find in young Châteauneuf), although later after eating the tannins are more detectable. Plenty of sediment in this. I would say this is à point now or perhaps towards the end of its drinking window. (Note: Perfect storage at Wine Society).

November 16, 2017 - Second review. Bottle seemed on the edge and the color was beginning to turn. Have cellared a few and not sure we have a clear winner yet. Stayed tuned.

September 26, 2017 - Too long a time to even out with decanting etc. Not a clear clean and powerful taste initially. Will try another bottle before deciding on the vintage. Price was terrific at $ 15.

March 24, 2017 - Brick red; whiff of brett, metallic, animally; pinched fruit, drying tannins, threadbare. Plenty of power, too bulky. Best drunk up.
