James Suckling: 95 Points
Enormously deep nose of wild blackberries and herbs with a fascinating balsamic element. Gigantic energy and drive on the extremely focused, full-bodied palate. Very chalky tannins are married to intense licorice character in the imposing finish. Picked on October 20 from north-facing vineyards 500 meters above sea level. A pure grenache that was matured for two years in foudre casks. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.
Vinous: 94 Points
Brilliant ruby. The expressive nose initially offers fresh red fruits and potpourri notes, which are complicated by exotic spice and incense hints. Deep but energetic, the sappy, appealingly sweet raspberry and cherry flavors tighten up through the back half. Silky tannins shape a strikingly long, pliant finish that leaves behind suave spicecake and lavender pastille notes. 92-94
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Wine Advocate
Shows good concentration for the 2021 vintage, with red plum and licorice on a foundation of graphite. A thread of singed herbs weaves through the pleasantly just-chewy palate. Savory, smoky and long, with toasty cedar adding warmth to the savory, smoky, long finish, which brings a firming feel. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2035. 2,000 cases made, 340 cases imported.
