Was Cved but no record; probably recent as bottle was in fridge. There’s more of a bitter acidic note that’d not been noted previously. From the poke?

Thanksgiving day three 11/25/17. Blind tasting vs Perrin and Guigal. Excellent wine with balance and earthiness. Long finish.

Deep Crimson but bright and cheery. Spicy nose of nutmeg, touch of menthol. Bouncing with acidity, perfectly ripe fruit and great line and length. Not an awesome wine but clean and bright and wonderfully made. For this I have to give it a gold.

From the second I opened this it showed reductive signs of game and asphalt. As it opened up I began getting less menthol/eucalyptus and more pepper. This wine lasted two more days as I kept trying it; I cannot wait to find this producer again and serve it with a proper pairing.

Lots of garrigue with a hint of pepper on the nose. Dark, black fruits on the palate with lots of herbs.

Acidic and dry. Mean totally hold up to meaty dishes but also drinkable on its own.
