April 23, 2023 - Tawny coloured, low intensity. Mature, medium(+) nose with dried fruit, raisins. After a while dried herbs, garrigue. On the palate a tiny sweetness, high acidity, medium(+), well polished tannins, medium body. 12,5%. Taut. Complexity with mature fruit. Nice acidity in long aftertaste. Delicious.

March 5, 2022 - Nez d'olives noires et de poivre noir, un peu de fruits rouges, belle couleur dense. Pas particulièrement long, mais un bel équilibre avec encore juste assez d'acidité, soyeux, olives noires, poivre.
Cheers à Alain qui vient de nous quitter trop rapidement. -
