Sitting on the precipice of primary and tertiary. Still has bright fruit notes with high acidity and just enough tannins that it would still pair well with food. But it also has forest floor, mossy stone, leather, cigar box. It will probably age longer knowing Mussar, but this wine has definitely hit its stride and is absolutely singing right now. — a month ago
Quite a step down from the 2021 we were drinking before. — 11 days ago

I haven’t had one of these in a minute. It’s as delicious as I remember it to have been. Cassis and dark berries, together with roasted herbs and iodine garrigue-like scents on the nose. Soft and intense in the mouth. Loads of savory clingy flavors in the mouth. Conjures up being in Provence (where I haven’t been in decades and need to get back to). Love this. — 2 days ago
