One of the best wines I have had so far in 2015.
If garrigue were a perfume spiked with red fruits, licorice, spice and exotic flowers it would be how this wine smells. The palate is perfect, if anything a little young as the tannins are a tad firm, but not intrusive. A long, clean finish, purity comes to mind.

Nice rich mouthfeel. Earthy nose and palate on 2011. Good food wine

Really good on day 1, dark, tannic, chewy, delish. Day 2 however was tasting stale and had a film growing on top. Fragile living wine! Love these wines!

For the record very good with microwave pizza at 2am. Very herbal and dark plum fruit.

This wine is alive, a roller coaster ride of aromas from poopy, to floral, perfumed, to gamey and umami.

Wow. Really like this. Dark fruit and that mentholy zing that spears through the ending.
