100% old-vine Grenache from vines that are close to 110 years of age. Aged in new (mostly) and used French oak barrels for 24 months. The production is just 10 000 bottles. Bought En Primeur. Medium ruby color. Aromas of sweet cherry, dried cherry, raspberry, tobacco. Medium body, medium acidty, fine tannins. Balanced and elegant. Taste of cherry, raspberr, dark chocolate. Long.

Good aromatic qualities upon opening with garrigue, black fruit, iron, and alcohol. On the palate this is flat out of the bottle. No vibrancy or energy. Sour notes of black fruit and iron that carry through the finish. Overpriced for the quality. Disappointing. Heat on the finish.

100% Grenache Il y a ici un fruit passablement confit, qui laisse une impression de sucrosité au nez mais qu’on ne sent pas en bouche. Belle longueur. Peut-être a-t-il besoin de temps pour s’affiner par ailleurs...?

Très intéressant. Épaulé quelques heures à l'avance. Couleur brique clair. Des arômes intéressants, une belle structure, mais avec la chaleur les arômes me plaisent moins. Très beau à la bonne température.
