Crisp and tart; clean finish with just the right amount of floral undertones — 13 years ago
Clear, deep ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of blackberries, black cherries, violets, and baking spices; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of raspberries, blueberries, and fresh asphalt with a long finish. Overall, this wine is complex and intense. I rate this wine as very good. — 6 months ago

Nice and a very good price — a year ago
Memorable apple flavor. Too sweet for prolonged drinking, but in moderation (a quarter pour) and drunk slowly, I really savored it. Like nectar. Dessert course of Forage’s Rhône wine pairing menu (with crème fraîche ice cream and hazelnut bread pudding and mandolined crabapple). — 9 years ago

[60% Grenache, 40% Syrah] Rich candied redfruits, this wine has settled down since earlier bottles I’ve reported on (which seemed hot and disjointed), it’s 14% ABV, but no longer tastes hot, long finish, quite a fine Ventoux!! — 4 months ago
