Really lovely Lirac, Grenache and Syrah show mostly, the proprietor (Rodolphe des Pins) (in my opinion!!) dragged his feet too long in joining the Lirac appellation, but his wines have LONG been undervalued and are fantastic at their pricepoint, I personally have more bottles of this, which I expect to age well!! — a month ago
Little to no aroma. Bitter and dry. Expected more, think it needed more time before opening. — 2 days ago
Drinking in 2025. drink now will not materially improve with age. — 16 minutes ago
