  Pnp. Medium garnet in colour. Nose of cherries and cranberries with a touch of cola and wet leather. On the palate there are semi-tarty blackberries and cherries with a nice peppery streak running along with a hint of black tea. Medium bodied with a medium+ finish. This is slowly coming along from the last time I tasted it on February 2020.

  Didn't take notes. Not as complex as the 2 other vineyard specific bottlings from this producer. Enjoyable. 90-91 range.

  After 1-hour decant: Big cherry followed by blackberry and hint of leather with very well balanced acidity and integrated fine, slight puckery tannins. Moderately long finish of the same. Not too complex but tasty.
  
  A year later less cherry, more blackberry, no pucker on the tannins.

  Was füreinander genialer Gigondas, zunächst noch mit Fehlnoten, Klebstoff, nach wenig Belüftung dann unglaublich vielfältige Geschmäcker, schöne Säure, zum pochierten Lamm ideal. Da können viele Châteauneuf einpacken!

  Opened 1 hour before dinner (beef chili). Medium red color. Bright cherry, glycerin, raspberry and touch of tobacco on nose (nice sweet/savory combination). Palate had similar flavor profile to nose. Medium body, medium+ acidity, low tannins and long finish. 92+/-
  
  Has improved since last bottle tasted in 2018.
