What an intoxicating nose! There is strawberry and fig, there is blackberry and plum, there is garrigue and olive, there is a tiny touch of licorice too. Wow that's complex. The palate is very well made. There is a strong acid drive with a beautiful, blossoming fruit touch expanding as it goes, with blackberry and strawberry notes. There is a bit of weight and matter on the sides and a soft mouthfeel, almost like a cushion. The mid palate is a powehouse with a a nice tannins layer adding a bit of disruption on top of that cushiony mouthfeel. That continues in the finish for ever, with those fruity notes and that licorice, olive, garrigue combo that sparks joy with châteauneuf wines. You gotta love it!

Probably a little to young for me. Never fully opened up. I have enough for another glass today.

Licorice, strawberry, spices,a bit of garrigue too. Intoxicating nose. The palate is very good, long and complex but could be a little bit denser and wider. A strong acid backbone, a nice fruit and some licorice all along, some tannins and a very velvety touch. Some tannins kick the rear up a tad to make way for a very persistent finish with licorice and red fruits. This is a very nice #sundaynighttreat.

Puissance! Après le Janin, c'est lourd. Encore un peu de patience peut être. Mais bon. Un poil d'evolution.

2012 Janasse ChdP So nice. One taste and you know is Janasse. Rich fruit, great length and iodine undertone.

Charlie Tapp

Blueberry, smoke, with dried flowers and figs. Lovely.

Nose: earthy spices here, red and black fruit, coffee hint Palate: lively tannins, quite piquant After sip (mourverde) medium to full body (Avignon - Le Vin Devant Soi - enomatic)

2012 en 2016. Olive. Beau nez. On carafe, le fruit vient. Et ça dépote.
