One of the favorites of the tasting. This 100% Grenache CDP (if my memories are good) that pinots surprisingly on red fruit notes, and olfactory referents that would lead us to Burgundy or some old Beaujolais crus (Brouilly 2006 by F. Aublanc): Potpourri, dried flowers etc. Acidity is full of promises for evolution and aging.
Un des coups de cœur de la dégustation. Ce CDP 100% (si mes souvenirs sont bons) qui pinote de manière surprenante sur des notes fruits rouges, et des référents olfactifs qui nous mènerait plus du côté de la Bourgogne voir certains vieux crus du Beaujolais (Brouilly 2006 de F. Aublanc): Pot-Pourri, fleurs séchées etc. L’acidité est pleine de promesse pour l’évolution et la garde. — 4 years ago
Great Portuguese wine. Cool, crisp. Good mineral and floral notes. 2019 — 6 years ago
Pop and pour yesterday. Better than I remember my last btl being. On the nose: musty mulberry, vanilla, spice, rose. On the palate: good acidity, lovely density and weight...black pepper, mulberry and blackberry. Soft, finely grained tannin on the finish. Yum. — 5 years ago
Profond, juste ce qui faut de longueur en bouche mais pas trop pour apprécier la nourriture et enchainer d'autres plats et d'autres vins.

2013. In a great spot. Expressive nose with layers of ripe cherries & plums. The fruit follows a similar path on the palate. At the Bourgogne level, I don’t expect the complex fruit, smoke & hints of fennel to emerge so beautifully. The complex flavors find a wonderful balance with the ethereal palate weight and chalky tannins. This is fresh, but the acidity is behind the flavors and textures right now. — 6 years ago
