No notes. Opened by our dear friend who is hosting us for the night in the suburbs of Paris. Great pour. Superb nose of hay, oak, earth and cherry. Nice acid drive, some dusty tannins, raspberry and sour cherry. Give it some time to breathe after opening. — 2 months ago

2025 vintage. Old Grenache and Carignan vines (40-80 years) with younger (under 25 years) Syrah. The latter make up 50% of the blend. A juicy, fresh fruit bomb with a spicy finish. An. 13,5%. Good value. — 2 days ago

I decided to revisit a bottle that was the winner of our horizontal tasting of MSD 2016 village (10 producers tasted blind by 10 participants). And once again this is a hit for a village. Lots of complexity, licorice, spices and red fruits... more than satisfactory length for this level of appellation. — 7 years ago
Tapped this beast on Corbin and I had to go more than 2/3 down the bottle, maybe fifth glass in five separate sessions, before it started to open up. lots of everything, mostly ripe and thickly layered black fruit that takes a long time to unwind. When I finally does, then it starts giving room to a bit of tobacco, leather, maybe even graphite, medium acidity, and a touch of bitterness, coupled with medium grained fruit driven tannins.  — 14 days ago

A glass full of violets. Tannic finish. Complex. Don’t let it open too long or oxidizes quickly. — 5 years ago
Still a very robust wine. Not in the least past its prime. There’s a lot of fruit left, but there’s also a lot of oak., even after 26 years. This has dried out the wine a little bit. Don’t make too much out of my criticism. The wine is very enjoyable, so the bottle was finished without any complaints from my friends at the table.
