Pretty nose. Shows a fair bit of Mourvèdre. On palate, purple of Syrah and garrigue of Grenache. Nose is more interesting. 2020. Quite fat. 15%. Climate change is real.

Thin body, average aroma intensity with dusty, herbal notes. Not bad, but not great.

2008 vintage in a 375. Nice little wine with notes of prune and black fruit.

This is a 375 that I certainly held too long. That said it didn’t taste flawed or dead, just not good to me. The pre-bourbons might have been the cause, albeit never before…

Very deep and rich. Intense raisin notes but in a good way.

Juicy and young. Fun tannins make salty and fatty snacks exciting!

Approachable and ripe, with high alcohol. Some smoke initially, then a ripe, grapey nose. Strong blueberry note. Long finish. 500 ml bottle.
