Loved this wine. Dark colour int he body with red brick colour on the rim. very complex aroma with plenty of dark fruit as well as more savoury aromas of earth. Very silky in the mouth with strong tannin which doesn't hurt the impression. Very long dry finish.

This cuvée is, basically, a blend of old vines -60 to 70 years old- of Grenache (80%), Syrah and Mourvèdre aged in casks, a few of them being new. Not surprisingly for a 2006, this Vieilles Vignes is more evolved than its counterparts, displaying some fine notes of Mocha behind a concentrated and elegant body. I recommend drinking up this nice effort now as it will certainly hold for long but will surely not improve. 91 points

Outsatanding. Mature, rich and complex, it complemented all flavours of the Christmas turkey lunch
