  92 Un vino estupendo. Mucha fruta roja, en nariz y en boca. Sedoso, limpio, frutal, impenetrable a la vista. Notas terrosas, resina. Poca complejidad, pero un vino muy rico.

  From 75cl, good cork, 30 minutes decant to bring it up from cellar temperature. Heavy, monolithic-sweet, strongly alcoholic Grenache for people who like such things. The professional reviewers who claim to have found all sorts of aromatic nuances and textural complexities in this wine were perhaps already drunk, or mixed up their tasting samples, or just possibly had different juice in the bottle they opened to what was in the 4 bottles I bought. But I certainly won't rebuy at 20 EUR/75cl... 86-87P

  For my personal taste it lacked a bit of fruity freshness (the fruit flavours are a bit to jammy). The spicyness was there and quite intense, but it lacked the body to go with it and aromatic integration. A lot of Garrigue, maybe menthol and herbs as well. I personally would try to drink this wine younger next time (maybe a year) or a lot later.

  From 75cl, good cork, P+P, then consumed over a two-day period with consistent impressions. As previously noted on 26.12.2022, there's not much going on here except squeaky, sweet, cherry-liqueur-style, primary Grenache fruit. Considerable acloholic heat for the 15% alc. declared. Not a bargain at 20€ German retail. 87P(?)

  Nice flavours of jamy blackberry, licorrice, black olive and a hint of thyme. Palate is colorfull with those aromas, ending on tobacco leaf, with acceptable length. Very good expression of southern CdR. Grenache blend I guess. His Charvin neighbour of the same price is abit better. 89-90
