Nose is minty and spicey. Palate is deep and rich with terrific mineral spine and wonderful structure. Ripe but substantial tannin. Nose has notes of ripe plum, peanuts and a saline element. Really good energy and depth. Not the most elegant wine but this has tremendous material and its own grace and charm. This needs air but I really like it. — a month ago
Not as deliberately oxidative, but still too oxidative to be Chablis. — 17 days ago
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nice nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Showing red fruits with light oak, licorice and chocolate notes.
Nice length on the finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a very tasty 5 year old GSM blend from Lirac. Nicely balanced and elegant, with mild complexity. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.
Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.
A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Aged in concrete tanks and 15% large French oak barrels.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

1hr+ decant. This was great, but did fade faster than expected so I’d drink up. Very complex nose and palate that can only be found in higher end Bordeaux’s. Great depth and long finish. Not sure if this is being produced any more, but if it is, I’m a buyer. — 2 months ago

Still drinking wonderfully and aging slowly.
Fresh yet mature plummy fruit, garrigue, underwood, terracotta, beefstew.
This is such a stylish and graceful wine. — 9 days ago
