2009, Decanted briefly this 2009 unfiltered wine showed beautifully, more on the powerful than the elegant side, just in my zone :-)
The wine has a deep ruby color, a lavish nose of black fruits, red cherries, wet soil, sweet spices, licorice and dark chocolate, medium to full body, with nice tannins and lovely acidity, the finish is long ripe , delicious and tempting, one of those wines you never want to end.

I loved this. Earthy, barnyard, chewy. That great Provençal garrigue. Calls for a hearty dinner. — 9 years ago

So I bought this at WFM to make a pork and cider stew and my lord, what a nice surprise. Needless to say I mashed an apple with whoite for that stew instead. Find it people. I rarely drink anything but bone dry cider — 8 years ago

Peppercorn, loamy earth and limestone meet plum on the nose. More black cherry than red, with a strong mid palate that transitions effortlessly to an elevated, almost floral (purple flowers) finish. Tannins are well integrated at this point. Enjoyed following 3 hr decant. — 9 years ago
