This was an intense wine. Wild, literally and figuratively.

Wild, intense and full of life. When I tasted this a year ago I remember it being a bit deeper and more sedate, but this bottle was funky fresh still showing some great complexity.

More stern than the Calcinaires. Double the price. All barrel aged (instead of concrete tank and barrel). Hold.

Funktastic nose. Rich, plummy-animal flavors balanced out by tremendously zingy acid.

Magic. Age these babies and they transform. super aromatic nose of spice, dark cherry fruit (liqueur) and a mean mineral streak. So mineral. Beautiful aromas. Fully resolved palate with stunning depth and purity. Elegant and light yet also has great flavor intensity. So balanced and juicy. Amazing wine.

2012. Old vine Carignan blend. Earthy, blackberry, garrigue, black tea. Both rustic and pretty.

Surprisingly firm tannic structure and freshness from a 15 year old wine. Black cherry compote, dried herbs, and fresh pipe tobacco flavors.
