I simply love this wine, last vintage, this vintage, probably every vintage, a mostly Grenache-dominant blend that works its magic in mysterious ways. Medium-bodied and aged 21 months in neutral oak, there's so much bright red fruit here, but also licorice, white pepper, sap, and a butcher shop's worth of meaty aromas and flavors. It evokes summer in Provence amidst fields of lavender, simply perfect in its ability to charm and intrigue. Give it some time and drink 2028-2043.

The stunning 2023 ‘God Only Knows’ is up there with the finest Grenache wines I have tasted in the past year. This edition reminds me somewhat more of the ’18 and comes off marvelously stony, with loads of tension and texture. Stored for 21 months in natural oak barrels, this offers a cornucopia of non-fruit aromatics from kumquat rind and wintergreen tones alongside red roses, pretty guava and strawberry fruits, with plenty of stony accents. The palate is downright delicious, as the mouth-watering acidity entices. Showing outstanding length this stunning wine is a thrilling joyride to consume now. Drink 2026-2035-

The 2023 God Only Knows is more savory than expected, captivating with a burst of dusty earth, incense and cedary spices before evolving into crushed violet and blackberry aromas. On the palate, it is silky smooth, with a stern mineral core and sharp citrus tones up front that beautifully complement its perfumed wild berry fruit. Brisk acidity keeps the mouth watering as the 2023 shuts down through the finish, leaving behind firm tannins and saturating the senses with blackberry intensity. This is nowhere near ready to reveal its charms, but the complexity is off the charts. What a gorgeous vintage for God Only Knows. The 2023 is based on Grenache, with undisclosed blending components.
