Nose of red fruits (strawberries, cherries), Provençal herbs, sometimes mint and sage. Taste flavors of black/red cherries and berries, with baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), mint, and gentle oak. Long finish with lingering with herbal, citrus, and spice nuances. Could easily go a few more years but why wait. Still have a few more bottles in my cellar. — 2 months ago

There’s a lot of cedar and berries with a hint of veg in the nose. The taste showed the same with some sweetness than tannins and some sourness in the finish. I did like this wine but I look at wines in my cellar a bit differently now that I’m over 80 and think I should have drunk this sooner. Still have the 2014 and will get that shortly. If you have any of the 2013 drink up. BTW, did a hard decant about an hour before a Wagyu steak dinner and saw no changes from opening to finishing the bottle.

2021 vintage. Medium/medium-heavy body. Smoky, plummy, spicy. Pretty crushable now but a decade+ aged bottle might unlock a secret, or two, of the universe. nicely done. 04.23.25. — 4 months ago

Decided to go through my cellar. This is very good for the age, although it did lose some chocolate notes. Still very pleasant to drink and enjoy. — 3 years ago
