December 15, 2022 - Still a joy to drink. Has age but doesn't taste old. Full of great granache fruit and garrigue character. A bit of a hard edge in there, but overall this is really wonderful

August 9, 2020 - Oaky and without character. Liquid mush. (or mushy liquid?). I tried this wine in 2018 and didn't like it then either.

August 1, 2020 - Still showing nicely. Not hot or baked, just good strong fruit. Ready to drink now. Went really well with grilled lamb chops.

May 23, 2020 - Creamy root beer, menthol, and over-ripe blue plums immediately evident upon opening. More blue fruit in the mouth. Masculine and chewy. Just enough acid left to balance the density and keep things on the fresher side. Enjoyable with cheeseburgers and spicy fries. Drink up.

February 26, 2019 - Interesting experience. On the first night I started to get a stewed fruit sort of thing, it wasn't pleasant after a while. On the second night it came around as a really nice mellow rhone wine with garrigue, and licorice. It was very pleasurable on the second night. I have no idea what this all means.
