  Light intensity aroma of cherry. Medium intensity flavour of blueberry, dark cherry, black pepper. Dry, medium acidity, light tannin. Good but not worth PQR.

  Raspberry on the nose. Initial mouthfeel is nice but follows with a lot of tannins and acid, could use some age.

  Combining elegance, power, purity, and complexity, this hits all the right notes from start to finish. The nose displays a floral bouquet along with kirsch, black raspberries, and red plums topped off with thyme, peppery spice, garrigue, and wet earth. The mid-palate is packed with fruit and the finish starts off strong and builds in intensity with its layers of ripe, vibrant, peppery fruits and its gorgeous sense of purity. You should lay this down for 6-7 years before pulling a cork as it is one of those wines that gains complexity in the bottle. The wine is usually made from 90% Grenache, 5% Syrah, and 5% Counoise. If this seems like your thing, grab a few bottles as it becomes close to impossible to find as it matures. Drink from 2026 - 2040
