Dark bricking tawny. Opaque. Fruit forward nose with herbs, kirsch, raspberries, some earth and a little licorice. Nicely balanced in the mouth. Tannins resolves. At peak. Good with pizzas from the pizza oven.

From a bottle bought on release. Dark tawny color with reddish amber rims. Great herbal nose with notes of cranberries, herbs de Provence, soil and black cherries. Rich and round in the mouth. Tannins are soft and fully integrated. A little heat. Dry but nice finish. This is in a great drinking window right now. One of the better CdPs I've had in a long time.

Inky and noble in the glass. Herbs de Provence, tea, and olives in the nose. Very refined in the mouth with a great finish. Well made wine in a good spot right now.

Inaugural vintage and showing better than it did in August. Mostly old-vine Grenache from the era before the domaine began entirely destemming. This is big, burly, epic, and velvety CDP. Like hugging a fuzzy bear.

Not as great as the reserve des deux freres I've had from him-- raspberry jam, licorice. And subtle spice character.
