Dang this is good. It is so subtle for the region, even more so for the vintage. Nose bramble, raspberry, a bit of tea. Palate is full of acid driven fresh fruit tea and mineral depth. No signs of jam or oak. This reminds of old time gigondas. So good.

As with past comments and with what others note--thoroughly enjoyable wine, great with food, great on its own--lovely fruit, good balance, crisp with decent weight and outstanding qpr.

Served slightly chilled on a hot evening. Delicious, crisp fruit with light tannin bite, nice blend. Great stuff, nice alternative to beaujolais or various rose.

Red and hint of blue fruits, flowers (violets?) and something salty/savory (tamari?). Really exciting - like a cru Beaujolais and a cool climate Pinot had a baby in Italy. Medium/light bodied but fine tannic grip. Drink now-2020+
Really good, again. A great expression of this mix of varietals. This time--lots of blackberry, bit of black cherry, earth, bit of iron/stone/mineral, all fresh with a lively acid and light tannin palate and fresh finish. Excellent qpr, with character.

pop and pour, flower and fresh berries make up a beautiful aroma, very easy to drink up, dry with lively red cherries, red currant, fig, earth and pomegranate, this is an impressive value, an interestingly lovely wine to drink now, consume at a cool temperature and with good company and food

Translucent red in glass. Crackles with red fruit, cherry, raspberry, blackberry, and mineral/earth in nose, floral notes as well. More of the same on the palate with crisp acid and tannin. Drank over two nights and second night was a bit softer allowing the fruit to linger more, but still lively. Enjoyable energy, Grenache is very good and Niellucciu/Sciacarellu/Syrah/Mourvèdre seems mostly the first two to me, as best I can tell. Great qpr if you like the style, which I do.

Maybe I got a bad bottle compared to the other reviewers, but I say no. I love their white, but this red was awful. No bouquet, no body, all tannin and chalk, even after a long period of breathing.

Le vin a évolué depuis la dernière bouteille. Plus de fruits noirs, notes de sous-bois , minéral/roche mouiller , mure acidulée et fruit rouge en finale , 88-89

ho. stony earth all over the nose. intense. good. some ripe raspberry, blackberry, and vine apparent beneath. medium body with blackberries, worcestershire, and black tea on the palate. chalky, coating tannin with a long but somewhat harsh finish. nice but rugged. another strong showing for corsica. probably drinks better in a year.

Nez plutôt nature , beau fruits rouges assez concentré plutot sur la canneberge en finale , bons tannins , très minéral , pas pour tout les goûts mais excellent vin à mon avis , super RQP
Servi tempéré au restaurant Le Pré Verre (Paris). Robe rouge foncée, goût intéressant de framboise et mûres avec un peu de canneberge à la fin. Très bon.
