Full of red fruits yet meaty and rustic. Full body. Dense and powerful on the palate with vivid acidity. Rustic mild tannins.
Though labeled as Vin de France, the juicy is from 60-year old vine of the domaine in Corbières, Languedoc. Natural wine.

Opened yesterday, drank over 2 days.
The nose is very fruity and intense with dark cherry touches, earthy notes, some raspberry and blackberry scents too. I could even smell some peony notes too. This is really inviting. The palate is wide and long and quite complex. A good acid drive, some dark cherry notes all along, some very soft and easy going mouthfeel that is changing in mid palate with a great tannic wall, which adds a layer of dust over an otherwise quite juicy and fruity finish. In the back-end though, there is a tiny savoury note that pops along with a subtle bitterness. This is really my kind of cab franc. Really good stuff! — a year ago
Balanced in every way. I love it. — a year ago
Very nice flavours of cherry, plum, raspberry, and a touch of leather/earthy (in a good way!) Well balanced. Nice bottle too! — 2 years ago
On the nose, violet petals, beets, and a little tobacco. On the palate, mint, liquorice, anise, plum, and gorgeous dark fruits. Finish is pleasingly herbaceous, with moderate tannins and a mild refreshing acidity. Very little barrel detectable but still so rich and satisfying. — 3 years ago

The 2020 is 60% Grenache, 40% Syrah. Nose is floral. I would have thought Pinot Noir or a Marchegiani Lacrima Di Moro d’Alba. The taste reminds me of PN, albeit a bit heavier. Soft and plush. Cherry extract. A touch of spice/ black pepper — 2 days ago
