Like a huge Napa cab. A tiny bit less sweet. Can barely taste the Syrah. Tasty with a killer burger. Overall a bit disappointing and expensive.

Old vine Cab , high altitude for Provence . This is very good , from an excellent producer . Fresh from an excellent 2011 vintage

Almost black in the glass. Needs time. Structured to the max. Delicious nonetheless.

Great find. Evolving wonderfully. Full and rich but with a serious structure and lovely earthy undertones. Great bottle

Total curveball at the end of the evening. Typical Bordeaux nose. Definitely has some age to it but still standing strong.

Very light and refreshing. Definitely a summer wine. Very strong peach flavor balanced with very light citrus.

Always fun to drink a 40 year old wine that still delivers

Loved this, well structured and good with age but still that cab fruit to the fore

This wasn’t showing as well as the 2011, earthy and tannic but without enough fruit to balance
