2018 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 2.5 hours. It’s easily been a decade+ since tasting their entry level stuff. Medium/medium heavy body. A bit riper than expected. Haven’t come across those levels of ripeness on their higher end stuff in the last few years. Can see why some would absolutely love this tho. Missing structure that usually accompanies Hall reds. For such a big *ss vintage, thought there would be mas. Sadly, no. 11.7.24. — 7 days ago

We pulled this from our cellar and brought it to V. Mertz for dinner. We enjoyed a couple of other wines as aperitifs and then ultimately did what anyone given the opportunity should do: pair it with lamb chops. We poured it into a decanter while we enjoyed the conversation and opening courses. Given the setting, there were no formal notes however, I can confidently report that the 2015 “Tintot” absolutely slaps. From the first sip to the last, it was all balance, power and class. It was also a spectacular showcase for Mourvèdre. It was hard to fully judge color because the lighting was so low but it appeared to be nearly opaque. A touch feral with a slightly gamey element to it but there’s a great big ol’ basket of black and blue fruits with red and purple flowers, garrigue, some black pepper and cedar chest. Structure is still quite firm but totally enjoyable. While this is an unusual assemblage for the region, it still comes across as a wine from Chateauneuf-du-Pape. This was my first “Tintot” and it has left quite the impression. Drink now with an hour decant or over the next 7-10 years. P.S. it probably goes without saying, but the pairing with lamb chops was sublime. — 2 years ago

Very nicely balanced, a surprise touch of spice. Recommended by a sommelier in Sevilla. Excellent. — 4 months ago

Drinking with Kay, Mom, Dad, and Emily in France. This was a bottle picked up in Les Baux. Color is dark red almost purple. Nose is also darker red fruit. Taste is bright and juicy but high alcohol content as you can feel it evaporate. Good tannins and structure. Would drink again. Bottle was maybe 20 something? — a year ago

First good wine back from a trip to the islands.
Some islands can get much better wines than others.

A neat blend, ripe cherry nose.
Thick jam persists. A pleasant wave of gravelly fruit, violets, dark cherry, Pomegranate juice.
A great wine to come back to. — 2 years ago

2021 vintage. A new wine for this young estate, that can be considered Mas Lasta's second wine ( the first wine coming under the Terrasses du Larzac appellation). Predominantly Grenache with Syrah, no wood, only stainless steel and no press wine is added. A delicious fruit-forward wine with impeccable freshness that can be drunk young. Abv. 13,5%. — a year ago

Always one of my favorite go to Spanish reds from the Montsant region which is my of my personal favorite DO’s. I tried this for the first time almost 15 years ago and always buy it when I can find it. It is still an exceptional wine every year and incredible value. Very similar to a higher end Cotes Du Rhone. Buy it by the case…🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 2 years ago
