I agree with others that this resembles a cotes du rhone, with dark fruit and red berry flavors along with a streak of stony minerality. I thought it was ok but didn't love it - it just didn't have that yum factor.

Resembles a Cote du Rhone and priced accordingly. Good acidity and freshness with a decent balance. Medium-bodied. Lovely dark fruited nose. Good for its level.

Decanted 1 hour - 17 degrees. Deep red and intense colour. Light elegant bouquet but still closed. Berries and dark fruits, stones. Very well integrated with the (still a bit rough) tannins - almost a kind of "nebbiolo/balance". After a further hours in large (Zalto Burgundy) glasses it develops further with notes of licorice. Very interesting and with a lot of character. Not to believe this is Minervois. Interesting to see this develop. Will decant for at least 2 hrs. next time - and will

Nothing's wrong with this wine, but I didn't find it interesting. OK fruit, but very high acidity as well. I probably should have had this with a soild meal.

This is very enjoyable! Nice ripe black fruit, good acidity which makes it a very tastfull but also drinkable wine. Well done, I like this kind of style

Quite dark red, purple; sweet slightly fruity but also closed nose; some fruit and flavours, but also quite neutral with a slightly tannic / sour finish; nice, but not exciting at all

Actually NV, but 2010 is indicated. Anyway, too much burnt rubber aromas.

Excellent. Driven by dark, juicy berries and soft tannins. Mums ...
