Community Tasting Notes 20

  June 12, 2014 - Just picked up half a case and if the first bottle is a guide then this is at the end of its drinking window but is not past it yet. Still some fruit notes but well rounded without any tannins as you would expect from an 8 y.o. VdP. Drank over 2 days and day two was starting to show more of the less desirable aged characteristics. Very quaffable but I'll be making sure I do not leave the remainder for long in the cellar.

  March 23, 2011 - Didn't detect the advertised garrigue herbs on the nose. Instead, it smelled of dark fruit and a little funk. Had decent balance, although a little geared towards a tannic edge, which I prefer anyway. Medium-bodied, good texture. Decent amount of fruit with a little spice, although still no garrigue that I could detect. A little savory, almost meaty. Successfully complimented whole wheat pasta with sun-dried tomato sausage, crumbled roasted pecans and an olive oil/pesto sauce.

  February 1, 2011 - A nose of spice and cherry, medium amber in color. A medium bodied dry blend, tart cherry, flowers with some spicy notes, decent QPR.

  January 30, 2011 - Bright and fruity, with spice, tea and anise flavors. Finishes with soft tannins. Really feeling the Grenache.

  September 21, 2010 - Showing more cranberry flavor in this tasting, somewhat thin mid-palate. Fresh and tasty in a light-hearted way.
