Dark cherry and some raised high toned notes. Garrigue, plum, blood, iron, bright red cherry. Lithe and toned and fresh. Lovely and supple. Very good — 9 months ago
Rustic and soulful, showing nicely, mature bottle character and whole cluster create a very complex and savory profile. Generous and richly layered red/blk fruit, pine resin, garrigue, sous bois and animal. — 6 months ago
Very yum for $17 at Schneider's — 2 years ago
This really developed nicely: dark ruby, no longer opaque w/minor bricking. Soaring aromas of all manner of red berry fruit, very ripe sweet spot, sweet spice, licorice, bit foresty, garrigue, - just spot on. Cohesive balanced mid-palate, lost some weight but very elegant & generous. So much raspberry, strawberry, kirsch liqueur, brambly, white pepper. Nice length on finish. This is peaking - refined example of regal CDP. — 2 years ago

Well balanced dark fruit and tanins, benefited from some time to breath. — 2 years ago
Brilliant ruby. Smoky, mineral-tinged aromas of raspberry, cherry preserves, garrigue and exotic spices show excellent clarity and acquire a gamy nuance as the wine opens up. At once rich and energetic in character, offering well-concentrated red berry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors and a sweetening touch of candied lavender. Shows fine definition and finishes gently, spicy and impressively long, with repeating florality and steadily building tannins. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, October 2021)
