Lovely wine, a touch of chewiness, but admirable depth of flavour and complexity. Quite herbal and earthy, great fruit still but drink up. An excellent bottle for a mere £15.

Deep red. Very garrigue, menthol and herbs distinctive. Still nicely fruit forward at this time. My opinion has not changed - this was a great deal for £15.

Dark reddish purple. Menthol on the swish, black fruits, dried meat, pine needles. Some leathery rusticity from this cuvée but this was entirely desired, quite a "thick" mouthfeel for instance. Perfectly in its drinking window, fruit still very much present although presumably less than it once had (my first bottle). Decanted, some sediment. A tremendous bottle for the price.
