I put the glass to my nose and said, ‘Yum!’ Not the most articulate tasting note in the world but yum is the sum of this utterly out-of-the-ballpark bedazzle-delicious wine!”, Tamlyn Currin for JancisRobinson.com, 17 points

Enjoying a bottle of this blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan is like going to see one of your favourite bands play an acoustic set at an intimate venue whilst you sit in the front row soaking up the atmosphere. Stripped back to the bare minimum, with no special effects, no auto-tuning, just a showcase of raw talent in its most exposed yet enjoyable form, it effortlessly showcases an array of sweet, dark cherries, blackberries and juicy red plums. The palate is supple and generous, packed with sweet dark fruit and a hint of wild herbs that remind you this is very much a child of the Languedoc. There's enough freshness to keep everything lively, while the tannins are soft and polished, giving the wine a smooth, easy-going feel. Rich without being heavy, fruity without being simple, it’s deliciously honest southern French red that delivers warmth, character and effortless drinkability in equal measure. Organic (certified). 13.5% alc. Drink now - 2030.

Tamlyn Currin for JancisRobinson.com: Grenache, Syrah, Carignan from vines aged 30 to 50 years old. A very small vineyard of 0.2 ha, yields around 35 hl/ha. Hand-picked, some whole-bunch, spontaneous fermentation. I put the glass to my nose and said, ‘Yum!’ Not the most articulate tasting note in the world but yum is the sum of this utterly out-of-the-ballpark bedazzle-delicious wine! It has the playful sweetness of  blackcurrant wine gums, the serious black-rock gleaming minerality of obsidian, the herbal spice balm of cough linctus, and the pop and pumping joy of blueberries and cassis. The tannins feel as if they’ve pitched up to the party already stoned, so soporific, hypnotic and soothing they are. I hate the weight of the bottle (cross-face emoji on its way to Mas d’Amile) but I love the wine. ” 17 points
