The 2018 Ventoux Il Etait Une Fois is more floral, perfumed and red-fruited than either the 2017 or 2019 versions. Tasted as a blended sample prior to bottling last year, it delivers raspberry and slightly herbal flavors on a medium to full-bodied palate. The tannins are ripe and velvety, but the acids remain lively, adding a crisp edge to the finish. - Joe Czerwinski.
Aromas of blueberries, blackberries, savory herbs, baking spices and violets. It’s medium-bodied with silky tannins. Sleek and racy with a juicy core of blue fruit. Flavorful and smoky finish. Delicious. Drink or hold.
The 2018 Ventoux Il Etait Une Fois is the top Grenache in the lineup (there are small amounts of barrel-aged Syrah, Carignan, and Mourvèdre) and it's brought up mostly in foudre. This is another incredible looking barrel sample from this team that sports a deep purple color, notes of black raspberries, ground pepper, incense, and spice, medium to full body, terrific purity of fruit, and a layered, balanced, concentrated profile. It's going to drink nicely right out of the gate yet keep for a decade.
