Opened as a back-up wine if we finished the other bottles. Drinking surprisingly well, lots of black berry fruit, didn't taste old or past the drinking window.

56F PnP Dark purple. Nice nose with red/black fruits - bosenberry and hint of cocoa. Nice medium widght with medium tannins, crisp and long finish. Fruit, bit of earth. Really nice! Well made and more complexity as sits. Lots of life left.

I last had this wine 6 years ago. It struck me in the past as tasty, but a tad clunky. For my palate it has improved with age. Still fairly purple with thinning at the rim. Mostly smells of spices. The Syrah and Mourvèdre influence here is strong. The Grenache takes a back seat. More black fruited. Earthy, with nice grip and some bitter herbs. A powerful wine with a decent finish. Should hold for years.

Very average wine. But, the missus drank the whole bottle. Thought we might be using it for cooking...
