Splendid! Black fig, crushed overripe blackberry, roasted black plums, stones, singed herbs de Provence, tar, tobacco, powdered sugar, floral, subtle asian spices. The whole cluster element perfectly in line with the wine, bringing lift and depth, almost highlighting the wines other dimensions. Solar, quite fresh, tannins have melted into this silky beauty. Perfect with fig and sausage stuffed quail, farro verde, favas and garden veggies

Dark plums and figs, black cherry, rosemary, thyme, tar and tobacco. Very intense and ripe- all fruit and quite bright.

Very solid and terroir driven, this beauty is really impressive. The nose is quite intense and fine, figs, dark berries and a light moka-like toasted note. The tannins are just fabulous, the mouthfeel of this wine is marvelous. Fine grain, long lived and generous. The kind of wine I totally love. Absolute must buy.

All savory- couldn’t detect any fruit at all really and I mean that on a good way.

Very surprising. Nose very closed at opening. So much so that I thought it might be corked. But after decanting, what a surprise !! Long finish, incredible balance, strong tannins but not overpowering. A stunner!!

This is young and for the long term. Great nose already but some tannic and acid structure in the mouth. Little sticky also..., wait some years!

Fragrant nose, black fruits and garrigue. Full, fleshy body, broad and strong without being overbearing. Could use a few more years to settle but pretty good now.
