  Notes much similar to my notes from last tasting one and a half year ago. Interesting nose, just like you have both Bordeaux and Rhone in the same. Strawberry notes on the palate in a complex composition then some herbal notes and moss toward the finish. Seem softer in the tannins now than I described it last time. The bottle was finished over 4 hours. Toward the end it began to fade slightly. I found this wine very enjoyable. 93P

  Nose like a good mature Bordeaux from start, thou you sense the different grape mix. A very hypnotic nose, that develops in the glass over time. On the palate more straight on; strawberries in several flavours, then acidity and oak in the finish. Lots of acidity and tannins still, despite its 13 years. Think this will develop even further in a decade or more. It developed more complexity during the evening in the glass. Great wine. 93-94P

  Southern-Rhone’ish expression with the Grenache playing a dominant role. Just a bit more rustic and not as heavy as a Châteauneuf du Pape for example. Still youthful with notes of cherry fruit, barnyard and spices - quite easy to drink as well. Drink now or keep.

  Rather pleasant in an old school way. Slightly rustic, a touch tannic, hint of herbs, decent balance. Doesn’t add up to much or have all that much complexity. Doesn’t hold up to other producers from Provence area. Perhaps past it’s prime?
