Funny to think of a wine about nine years old seeming young. Still, this bottle drank well. Black fruit, some garrigue. Lively and energetic, not at all overbearing. Not as big as expected, but also not complex at this point.

Medium red color. Great nose - garrigue, raspberry, iron and mesquite. On palate, full body yet great palate texture - medium acidity, integrated tannins and a very long finish. Beautiful red fruit on the palate - raspberry, strawberry with some nice earthy side notes. Beautiful wine. 94+

Decanted for 3-4h. Lovely nose of cedar and spices, a touch of tobacco. On the palate, sweet red fruit from the granache, balanced by more cedar, spices, pepper, tannins, and acidity in the long, peppery finish. Great with grilled rack of lamb and mint sauce.
