Ripe red and dark berries and garrigue in the bouquet. Same on the palate, good acidity and soft, round tannin. The 14.5% ABV shows a bit. Some length. Lovely wine which is fully mature now and the wine will probably stay on this level for another year or two. This was my last, very satisfying bottle.

Much more approachable upon opening than the bottle in 2019; berries, cherries, plums, caramel, mints, roses, and sandalwood in the perfumed and rich nose; quite complex and structured on the fruity palate, berries, cherries, coffee beans, peach cobblers, rock salt, and wood spices, with just the right acidity; long finish with more savory wood spices; overall, 92 points at this stage; probably at its peak already.

Sweet and ripe red berries and garrigue in the bouquet. On the palate the same impressions, fresh acidity and also a firm dose of sweetness. Lovely wine which is ready now.

Garrigue and raspberries and cherries in the bouquet and on the palate. Good acidity. Still a lovely wine.

Not as perfumed as the previous bottle in 2021 with less fruits on the palate; so 89-90 points at this stage; my last bottle.
