Been over a year and this wine is singing. Nose is so expressive with granite, camphor, herbs, meat, olives, blackberries and smoke. So complex and expressive. Palate is energetic and rich but so supple and juicy with tons of blackberry and darker red fruits. Superbly long finish that just builds and builds. Unreal freshness and suave texture. Just stunning and only just opened. The nose is super leathery after air. — 3 months ago

Nose: inky dark blackberries.

Palate: deep dense blackberries. Balanced but very dense. Almost monolithic.

Most people will like this more than I do.

As this opens a bit more elegant. — 10 months ago

Prob most balanced wine I’ve had in a while. Odd to lead with that but what popped into my head. Purpley and plummy fruit. Long finish. Exc. 2020 — 4 months ago

Such a great vintage at Gripa. Nose has gras, wood dust, yellow fruits, smoke, marzipan and more. Stunning. What a palate. Round and elegant with incredible purity and sap. So fresh yet super elegant. Wow, what a wine. Brilliant. — 10 months ago

Dark, glass-clinging purple with opaque black core. Abundant, blue-fruity nose. Echoed on the lush, full palate which adds red apple peel, blackberry, and bitter black plum. Medium acidity. Velvety medium tannins. Very nice, everyday St. Emilion. Food is, of course, naturally its friend. Drink now through 2030. — 8 months ago

Lovely texture, richness without flab. Mineral nose, tropical fruit on the palate. The quenching freshness on the finish really takes this to the next level. Lovely. — 3 years ago
