  Likely my last bottle of this; identical to last note of Fall 2020.

  Very relaxed, melded and exquisitely balanced wine with nice rich fruit. 91+. More than ready now.

  Balanced but beginning to fade. Savory with fruit still poking through. Lacked depth. Short finish.

  Poured by Procure Wines and presumably ex-chateau or at least ex-negociant. I really liked this wine. It had a very aromatic old, funky smell, with dried fruit, spice, and forest floor. Very smooth on the palate, but perhaps it could be more complex in the mouth. It's a nice introduction to mature wine.

  Still fresh dark color with substantial clear rim; complex nose of saddle leather, mature Garnacha fruit, garrigue and hints of clove and cinnamon. Nice complexity of flavors. Hitting well above its class.
