(12/31/2021) "Lush and alluring, with warm melted licorice, plum reduction and blackberry preserve notes rolling through slowly but surely, while sweet tobacco, applewood and tar accents fill in on the finish. Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault. Drink now through 2032. 1,100 cases made, 280 cases imported."

(5/5/2022) "The 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape les Olivets is atypically rich and dense for this cuvee. Concentrated blackberry and chocolate notes lead the way, while the full-bodied palate is velvety and the finish long, but shows a touch of warmth. Drink Date: 2023 - 2032."

(10/2021) "Dark ruby. Fresh cherry, dark berries, pungent flowers and hints of musky earth and garrigue on the fragrant nose. Pliant and expansive on the palate, offering juicy red and dark berry, candied violet and baking spice flavors and a hint of mocha that adds appealing sweetness. Finishes long and gently chewy, with well-knit tannins and lingering spiciness. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2033."
