  • Drinking great right now. Unmistakably Rhone with Garrigue, earth, lots of grenache fun. Not much serious side, but it's lively and fun. Probably as good as it'll get. Drink now, I think.

  • Deep red colour with a leather touch to it. Nose is mature with notes of leather and dried cranberries and strawberries. In mouth it's pleasant, medium bodied plus with somewhat dried out tannins, nice acidity and notes of dried cranberries and strawberries, and leather.

    Fully mature Chateauneuf here, don't expect this to get any better from here.

  • Very good wine. Deep in the glass with generous scents: blackberry jam, cherries, black pepper, aniseed, slightly balsamic with hints of smoked ham. Tannins well integrated in a full and rounded body. In the ending good minerality and a little salty note.

  • Bought it few weeks before. Put very good conditions to drink it (bringing it to room temperature since the morning, opening gently in the end of the afternoon for a nice diner with friends), it did not perform on the day, gave it other try in the following day, but was still the same. Not passed but pure emptiness.

    Ended up in the sink.

    Since that is a recent bottling of the wine (confirmed by the winemaker, that could have just said it was a problem with a bottle, but rather listed me the name of restaurants still buying it), was very disappointed of the quality, specifically in comparison with price paid.

    Had been buying those wine since 2016 to 2021, will probably not be doing that in the future.

  • Drinking perfectly. Mature, yet still with primary fruit, the sweet Grenache rules, sings of the land with plenty of local herbs; a claassic wine, no hurry to drink this, but drinking a point IMHO.
