2019 vintage. Olivier Tropet's vineyards are mainly in the Roaix appellation, but he also produces a Rasteau. I don't know why this wine isn't labelled Roaix, maybe there is some Rasteau in here? Or maybe he doesn't want to use the Roaix appellation for his entry level Villages? This is a blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and 20% Carignan blend from organically (and biodynamically, certified since 2022) farmed grapes. — 22 days ago

Deep Ruby red color with aromas of black berry fruits and pronounced spice notes, blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. On the palate ripe raspberry and blackberry flavors with notes of cacao, oak and vanilla. Medium finish, fine tannins, ending with fruit oak, and earthy tobacco character. — 7 months ago

しっかりした色調で、照明のせいかもしれないが、ちょっと赤色っぽく感じる。
程よい果実の厚みすりおろしりんご。金木犀やカモミール？の香りに、程よい塩味。
シンプルな野菜サラダよりアクアパッツァにピッタリ。アクアパッツァオジヤは合っているかは微妙だが、しっかりこなしてくれる。コッテリ目の唐揚げにはあんまりで、マヨネーズをつけて食べたら、ピッタリに。
でも、卵サラダにはあんまり。

2日目は、香りはすこし弱くなったが、オレンジワインのような旨味たっぷり系に。カツオのたたきにもよくあった。 — 22 days ago

Like a deep, spicy apple cider, full of punchy acidity and fragrant, fresh fruit notes that make this a truly distinctive experience. — 7 years ago

Near perfection....smooth butterscotch, carmel, cream with just enough complex apple and cinnamon spice on the nose. Medium body with a finish that lasts for minutes. My wife’s birth year and it’s nearly as impressive as she is. Worth every single penny!!! — 8 years ago

Been wanting to try this wine for a while. Seemed appropriate to do so when we are in Italy. 2018 is fairly young and it opened up immediately with strong fruit aromas of red currants and other fresh berries. Quickly became smooth and silky. In short, we loved it and hereby anoint it our “wine of the year”! — 2 months ago

This finished in Cognac barrels. It offers a much drier expression focused on wood characteristics. Savory and firm this would be good with some pate or foie. — 4 years ago
