  April 20, 2024 - Nez évolué sur les épices et la garrigue, très provençal! Bouche fraîche, puissante avec ce millésime qui ajoute une touche de chaleur et concentration.

  April 19, 2024 - Brought to drink at Oinoscent during service. Decanted and tasted after 1hr
  The wine shows ripe red fruit in the nose, spice, juicy, welcoming, nice developed profile.
  Palate copies the nose profile, ripe to overripe red and black fruit, a touch of warmth, raspberry and overripe sour cherry, some herbal bitter notes in the back, med body, elegant, long finish.

  March 28, 2024 - So good after 14 years. Dark plums and red/black cherries up front. Mostly has given way to the secondary notes of leather, prunes, savory herbs, licorice, and Asian five spice. Still has good acidity and tannins with a nice long finish. Good to go right now and over the next couple of years.

  March 24, 2024 - Amber hues, savoury dried herb, rustic notes, lovely balance and soft tannins . Has aged beautifully with alcohol level not showing on finish.

  March 3, 2024 - Bold, beautiful and mature CDP. Quite different than our 1st bottle in 2020. Tannins are fully resolved, many secondary characteristics have emerged, and bricking on the edges. Very complex. A smokey, fruity, licorice bouquet. Plum, dark berries, leather, spice, pencil shavings, camphor, herb and meat juices on the super smooth palate. Long finish. Just a touch of heat on the backend, but not distracting. We have one more destined for consumption no later than 2027. 94-95 pts
