Hasn’t changed much in 3 years. Dark red color, dark matter, late maturity fruit but still cool and blue. Eucalyptus notes, garrigue. Just a tiny bit dry. Unique style. 5-10 years left, I’d say.

So very young and cool; quite the excentric, dry style, Grenache is quite discrete here, lots of garrigue, very true to the domaine and the vintage. No signs of fatgue whatsoever, impressive. (from PB) #NYCGroup#Anarki

Took a full hour to open up. Great, upright, well structured Châteauneuf in a somewhat dry style. In the same mold as the wines from Bonneau and fully as impressive and good. Dark cherry fruit, spices. This will certainly easily make it another 5-10 years. Distinctive, full of character. Love it.

Tremendous showing. Youthful in both color and fruit expression, upright wine with great structure. Old-school Neuf with lovely dark red fruit and garrigue notes. Will certainly live on.

Ruby red. This is a still a toddler. Raspberry coulis on the nose, very intense, very fragrant. Dates, figs and herbs provencale on the palate. 14.5% alcohol as per label, but great balance and structure. Surprisingly subtle and elegant given the size of the wine. The tannins become more evident with air - there is plentiful of years to go before we reach the peak here. Great wine. Luckily, this was the first bottle from my case of 12. Curiously it says 'non filtre' on the label but there was no sediment in the bottle whatsoever. Hmm.

Old-school, upright Neuf with notes of cool fruit, eucalyptus and garrigue. Good acidity. Always a treat.

Unfortunately this is on the downhill... still drinkable but limited fun

Splendid showing. Cool, mineral, fresh, rede cool fruit galore, vertical - impressive in a less than convincing tasting ...

Very nice, fully mature CdP. Old-school and a bit rustic, there is nothing flashy about this wine.
