Interesting GSM. Purple clear colour, nose of licorice, pepper, and bay leaf. I actually had to go smell them in the cabinet as I was thinking green peppers.
Tastes of mild licorice, blackberry, round and pleasing with spice. Low to moderate pepper tannins.

Ruby, clear colour. Smell of garrigue, mild peter so long legs. Clean tasting and refreshing, but not very powerful. Mild tannins and bright acidity. Tasted beside the 2012; definitely "thinner". Enjoyable and perhaps representative of the vintage.

Tasted beside the 2013. Ruby, clear colour. Nice aromas of garrigue, pepper, and mild licorice. Slight astringency, tastes true with boysenberry(?). Moderate pepper tannins. Really enjoyable now.
