March 8, 2024 - Despite its age, still drinking beautifully. Ruby core with a pale, bricky rim. The palate offered up rich, dried fruit cake with currants, sultanas, orange peel, spices and some red and blackcurrant fruits too. Rich, warming and long. Excellent.

April 2, 2021 - Fantastic wine. Light red with a brownish touch. Nose of olives and thyme. Perfect balance on the palate, olives and chocolate. Good length. Just delicious!

March 19, 2021 - Really beautiful bottle, tons of sediment, 2 hour decant. Pure grenache fruit with a tiny hint of chocolate on the finish. Totally enjoyable. Lots more bottles of this one so that is a good thing.

December 29, 2020 - Perfectly mature bottle. Tons of sediment, and I mean tons. Beautiful red color with hints of bricks. Some olive notes to start but evolves to sweet red fruits - great balance. Hints of gaminess. Really very very nice CNdP. Will hold for another 5-7 years for sure but really in a perfect place to drink now.

Excellent level, decanted for 60 min and tasted over 2.5 hours.
Note heavy sediment.
Significant bricking after opening and filtering.
The nose is largely strawberry and rhubarb, with some sweet spice.
Palate follows through similarly. There is an impression of sweetness on the palate.
The wine was in good condition and technically faultless to my taste, the overripe style was not my cuppa...
I would not buy and cellar this again.
Drink or hold to 2025.
