Improved over the last couple of years. More acidic than many Gigondas. Agree with Poisey comments from 2022 about olive and white pepper flavors. It is bolder & more muscular than most Rhones. In early portion of drinking window which I project to be 2025-39

Nez : fruits rouges...framboise, allumette, épices...cassonade brulée, et florale...chandelle. Souple, fruité...saveurs de cerise confit, de violette et des épices. Une pointe minérale...galet, chaud et rond. Finale de persistance moyenne sur une pointe plutôt amère...chocolat noir. Très beau ! Prêt à boire. 90+

Complex on cork pull with smoky mesquite, strawberry, sandalwood and green olive notes. Smooth and elegant on the pallet. Medium bodied. Robust finish with an explosion of raspberry and strawberry fruit. Lingering black olive paste and white pepper. Youthful and vibrant. Better in a few years. Drink 2025-2032.

After one so-so bottle, this bottle was back to being very good, like the first two bottles in the case. It is a classic deep/dark/fruity Rhone.
