A more focused occasion this time. Lots of herbs, olives and paprika on the nose. There is also plenty of warm fruit, plums and blackcurrant dominating. Some nice funky aromas of paint and tar. Round, medium acidity, good fruit and an almost full body. Some astringent tannins give a nice structure to a very nice wine. And good QPR as well!

Bright and stony with distinct herbal/pine notes and a little blood, you can really tell there's some cinsault in here. Inviting but also nicely firm in its spine and very expressive. Drinks great.

A nice CdR! Peppar (surprisingly as it is only 20% Syrah), olives, some barnyard, oak and butter. Lots of fruit, medium acidity, full body with distinct tannins.

This has an inviting, complex nose, with elements of ripe or stewed fruits, herbs, and garrigue. The palate is a touch thin, however, and so does not offer enough body (tanins, acidity) to counterbalance the 14 degrees of alcohol.
