March 22, 2024 - Final of 6 bottles, this one was delicious. Tasted paired with grilled meats, next to a 2010 Clusel-Roch Cote-Rotie.
Juicy red and blue fruits, more generous than the Cote-Rotie this evening.
Drink soon IMHO. -

May 12, 2023 - This 5th bottle from a 6 pack was tasted alongside a 2007 Clape Cornas.
Lovely, delicious, dark fruited with meats and peppercorn.
Drink through 2025+. -

December 25, 2022 - 4th bottle from a 6 pack, last tasted this wine 1.5 yrs ago.
Consumed this bottle over 2 nights, it was stellar and red-fruity, meaty, iron, pepper, just great.
The tannins are grippy and evident acidity to make it refreshingly bright.
Popped the cork back in and consumed the last few glasses in 24 hrs. The wine had thinned out considerably, the tannins felt absent.
I think this wine is at peak, drink now. -
