Nov 23rd, 2020This is rather delicious. Beautiful red fruit in the nose with dark plum and a hint of violet. Very pure and intense on the palate. Kirsch, some herbal notes intense berry fruits and real purity. Silky, and handles the alcohol well. One of the best of their recent vintages

Dec 19th, 2022Gave this 2+ hours of decant. With that air, certainly elegant, earthy, and mineral driven. Next to the modern Spanish Grenache, this read much more of place.
