  Another cracking bottle of this likeable wine.
  
  Dried herbs & scrub abound and hints of liquorice and violet manifest.
  
  Just tremendously enjoyable to drink. Decanting for a few hours is recommended

  Peppery, liquorice notes play across the tongue. Beautiful tannins caress the palate.
  
  This is fresh and ready and wonderfully scented from the get go. It softens little by little in the glass and the fruit comes back a bit.
  
  It's wonderful, engaging, layered wine and this bottle is even better than the one I had 18 months ago.
  
  Fantastic and improving. Highly recommended.

  Toujours très bon, mes expériences avec ce vin se ressemblent. Aromatiquement pas ultra expressif, un peu contenu, mais une très belle matière, c'est classieux et digeste (12.5 !) même si en bouche, l'équilibre est sur la douceur, on aimerait un poil plus de relance pour qu'il change de dimension. Je ne suis pas sûr que cinq ou dix ans de plus l'auraient bonifié (en tous cas pas sur ce plan)

  I've drunk a 6 bottle case of this now. Inky, herbaceous nose which is confirmed on the palate, although this disappears with time in the glass. Sweet, but not unpleasantly so. This is not a new world style, heavy wine, but it'll appeal to those who like that kind of wine. Good with bbq or strong cheeses. All in all not unpleasant (and I say this as a lover of fresh, classical reds) so happy I have more of this to drink.

  This is quite sharp and punchy.
  
  Pleasant on the nose, decent on the finish, it speaks of its terroir. It talks of hard work, a little austerity and altitude. This isn’t silky smooth. There is brush and berries.
  
  This wine is a little bit different, a little bit challenging and worth sampling. Tart,almost but certainly soulful.
