This wine has a lot of depth and earth. It is lush with great structure. Even though it's not cheap, I still think that there is a lot of value here.

Insanely good. Focused, but not out of balance red fruit with just enough acid for a little oooomph. Wonderful and I'm sure a great food wine.

Un tueur de préjugés! Servi à l'aveugle. Cuvée "en bonbonne" dispo aux USA seulement. D'une fraîcheur incroyable.

This 2009 unfiltered GSM + Cinsault blend is 10+ years old. Some cherry and earthy qualities. The aging has been good to this resulting in a much more subtle long finish. September 2020.

One of my favorites. Almost 10 years young with much life left in it. Soft, barnyard-y, great structure. Has evolved drastically just in the 20ish minutes it's been open.

Toasty aromatics - incredibly well balanced with dark fruit up front light spice mid palate that tapers into dusty baking spice and black cherry finishing velvety with fresh acidity
