It was a very good wine for the low price. I did not have the opportunity for a thorough tasting. Ämma and I tasted this at the wine expo in Linköping 2013.

Deep red colour. Nose of ripe dark cherries and blackcurrants, slightly flowery with violets, hints of tar and dried herbs. Medium body(+), rather good concentration of fruit with primarily ripe cherries, somewhat sweet and alcoholic attack, rather noticeable medium(+) tannins, a hint of bitterness, balancing acidity that provides some freshness. Rather tannic and slightly alcoholic aftertaste. 83 p. Quite OK for a Côtes-du-Rhône at its price level. Probably the character of the 2010 vintage contributes to making the wine fresher, but I had hoped for even a little more acidity and freshness to hide the alcohol better.

En ganska blyg doft med lite jordgubbar och kryddor. Smaken är rund och lite söt men det håller ihop bra. Inte sötkladdigt eller någon stickande alkohol, vilket är mer än man kan säga om merparten av bolis viner i prisklassen.

A March Saturday family dinner (Swedish apartment): Most of us enjoyed this warm expression of old Grenache. Not the ordinarily tart CdR. Cherries and a good tannic punch. Went really well with the food! Should develop well over a few years' time.

On the nose cherries and chocolate, quite nice actually, but didn't have a taste to back it up, closed and boring. Two hours in the decanter or using the Vinturi didn't help. Was horrible day 2. Have one more, will keep it for 2 years and hope for a miracle, or maybe use it for cooking.......

Myk og behagelig, lav syre. Litt sødme og krydder i smaken. Aroma av mørke bær, krydder og litt vanilje.

Lite bättre än förra gången för nu anade vi en ört mitt i all frukt.
