Pretty sweet. Nice nose -- mostly herbs and garrigue. Assorted berries on the palate, along with the herbs. Medium body, decent finish. Impressively well knit and integrated. Very smooth and balanced. Didn't blow me away, but impressed me with its balance and restraint. Tannins are still present, but are subdued. I think it's at its peak, and I think it will be there for another year or so.

Bought on auction last year for 30-40 €. Consist mainly of grenache, with some syrah and mourverdre. Sees fairly new oak. But its well integreres at this point. Needs only about 15 mins to open up. Cool restrained pleasure, not from fruit aromas, but with the drive coming from garrigue: the big sprinklers of dried provencial spices. Notes from the second day: nose of thyme, juniper, smoke, plum in madeira. Smooth palate with dusty tannins and thimian, lets stick to a rellaxed fruit referance with plum. Lenght increases with time out in the air

Big nose - black tea, black olives, aniseed, liquorice, coffee. Lots going on with the palate - Dark fruits - plum, black currant, liquorice, and subtle spice. Nicely balanced fruit, acidity, and tannins deliver an elegance. This is a medium bodied wine with good length. An excellent wine with complexity and charm. Drinking well now. Decantered 2 hours prior to drinking. Enjoyed by all.
