  Cracking bouquet cracked pepper cinnamon violets plum and redcurrants, chalky puff at the end, Spicy entry, cloves, fennel seed, green pepper, raspberries, the spices murmur on with tannins that are integrating but slightly chewy with a good blob of acidity and long finish.

  100% Grenache Gris, kept in 400 litre barrels for 7 - 10 months. I'm guessing no new oak.
  
  There's and intensity to this that makes me feel it's not quite ready, and dare I say it a racey intensity, with the unusual (for the region) level of acidity to it. Yellow plum, fennel, ginger, the hint of the garrigue, that mixture of wild flowers and fennel, as you amble along the vineyard littered roads. In the mouth there is the merest smear of caramel, but those yellow fruits and ginger repeat themselves. There is also an oxidative feel to the wine, but one that excites, not disappoints. There is a dryness in the finish, that comes with a long length.

  From a half
  
  Good concentration of fruit. Spearmint and blackberries, wee touch of cedar. Plum and raspberry, bell pepper, tannin slightly astringent. Medium acidity and length. Typical of its vintage, but all a bit dull.
