2014. Concentrated dark fruit that's never heavy on the palate, with ripe tannins on the finish and a final twist of freshness at the close. Above the elegant textures are a grocery basket of sumptuous aromatics: blueberry and red currants, moist earth, and the Languedoc shrubland (garrigue) that comes across as just the slightest hint of rosemary.

100% Carignan, a first for me. Great up front texture and body. Nice complexity. Really worth trying! CB 91+

Delicious. Carignan. Likely too much tannin for the long term.

Showing lots of mushrooms, red fruits, leather, and herbs. The problem with this wine is that nothing else taste good afterwards

Carignan with plenty of garrigue and tannic backbone, needed the decant to settle

Mature, complex with spicy dark fruit. Impressive with good length. Ripe tannins.
