Dark ruby opaque color. Medium acidity, low integrated tannins with mushroom, plum and notes of wet soil on the nose. 2019 was a hot year in Rhone, maybe that’s why ripe plum comes as a first tasting note, accompanied with pepper and cocoa. — 6 days ago

inky, saturated, dark. Magnificent.
The nose full of violets, crushed rocks, black olives, cedar, black cracked pepper. Alcohol is medium.

On the palate, a masterpiece of tannin management, full throttle yet perfectly integrated, melting in dark ripe berry giving a wholesome mouthfeel and a highly pitched acidity giving lightness and brightness to the overall massive texture.
The full stem gives a lightness to the whole ensamble that is stunning and a masterclass of equilibrium and definition alike.
Buy by the case.

From magnum. Initially this smelled of bandaid and dirty diapers. However, with air the stink blew off to reveal a beautiful mature wine with lovely sweet fruit with more style resolved tannins. — a month ago

First thought is that I lack the vocabulary for this one, as alas, don’t get to try these legends too often. Nose leads with pure smoked meat, cherry-licorice liqueur (without the alcohol whiff) and something I can only call “magical spice concoction” Palate hits first the side with acid freshness (hello! Where did you come from?) then unwinds the long and complex licorice and boysenberry melange that is already approachable with with enough sandiness in the tannins to show higher promise in the future. Texture hits with smoky bacon fat and carried everything for 30 seconds plus — a month ago
