Feel like this hasn’t moved and inch since LBT, perhaps the fruit beginning to dry out some more. Roasted-ripe black fruit, sanguine, beef jerky, fur, tar, menthol, hot stones, fennel seed and dried herb, ash. The mid-palate fruit density offers up CNDP suggestions but it’s brute tannin and power remind of Bandol. A unique expression as always. Lamb loin, charred eggplants and jimmy nards, harissa honey and herbed yogurt was a success.

2009. Such a beautiful evening to fire up the grill and throw on some marinated pork tenderloins. The wine with its dominant plum and background leathery and meaty flavors with dusty tannins is getting better with each sip! Should pair nicely with the grilled pork...

Oct 21st, 2021Great wine. Rustic yet polished. Blackberries, mulberries, beef jerky, tar, anise, and some forest floor.
