Very nice nose: full fruit, candy. Tannins are soft but still a bit too dominant: this wine needs a few extra years in the cellar, but the structure and complexity are present. Nearly 100% grenache, but a completely different style than the 2006 Rhones that I tasted: more fruit-forward, less heavy style. I will definitely buy some more.

A year ago, this wine was promising but still way too tannic. It has nicely mellowed out now. Strong nose. Full red fruits and soft tannins in the mouth. Excellent BBQ-wine and a good value.

Already had a bottle two years ago. Much better this time. Nicely interwoven tannins, spices, black fruit.
