Could smell the wine across the room. Marcoux VV if blind tasted. Hard to believe it's Tempranillo — 5 years ago

A fabulous CdP @ a great price of €36-€45 from a single vineyard as a second wine of an unusual single grape for CdP but lovely 👍

Traditional chateuneuf - lots of olives, tobacco and spices - very different from the marcoux. - no sweetness at all — 6 years ago
Easy to drink, not heavy, very light tanins. Low complexity but still good and balanced taste. Drank with raclete, surprisingly accetable. — 7 years ago

Unctuous. Best way to describe this wine right now. Drank alongside a Marcoux CdP and this wasn’t even close to the Marcoux’s character and depth. Not to say this wasn’t a good wine; in fact, it was quite good indeed. Expectedly modern. Blue fruits and spice and lots of it. Bigger than the Marcoux for sure. Color was a huge contrast being more purple and the Marcoux’s bright red. Tannins weren’t too obtrusive. Decent acid. Not sure what to do with these wines. Drink now? Do they need more age to become their best? The 15.5% scares me a bit. Right now, this comes across too young. — 3 years ago
