Damn this got even better. Tannins have rounded out a touch while the flavors have developed some real depth. Acids still bright but very much in balance. If blind would have guessed some Mourvèdre in the blend. Just wish this wasn't the last bottle as this should be great for 5+ years.

PnP into a Grassly Cru. Bright Flamboyant fruit and acid with a side of spice and funk on Day 1. On Day 2 it was a bit softer and rounder and less interesting but still a delicous wine. I think this wine is drink now or within next two years. Don't think this one will be more interesting 10 years from now. Very enjoyable!

Translated to a price:performance scale this would be a 96+. Beautiful structure and balance for a Carignane, and this is a great expression of the variety. Perfect pairing with a fresh batch of arugula pesto.
Thank you Birichino for putting out great wines at great prices.
