  Lots of vegetal notes and animal funk in the beginning with the latter nearly vanishing with more air, making room for some much nicer, but unspectacular notes of blackberry and forest fruits as well as some mocca. The wine's body is surprisingly thin with undistinctive berry fruit aromas, it even feels watery on mid-palate, really failing to come up to par with the nose. Slight bitter tones and a nearly absent finish. Wouldn't recommend it, not even as a smooth daily drinker as the mouth-feel is really weak and horribly thin for a 10€ wine.

  Seems to have a little vegetal or mineral on the nose with some cherry. Also found it a little watery.

  Well paired with a porc roast - Creamy cherry fruit and herbs, good freshness. Brilliant value

  The syrah grape dominates but is balanced by mouvedre and Grenache.

  17/20 - * * * * COUP de COEUR (19,15$c à la SAQ)
  VISUEL: Grenat marron évolué
  OLFACTIF: Nez aussi évolué avec des notes tertiaires. Fruité (prunes, figues). J'aime ce nez racé et original....
  GUSTATIF: En bouche, on a une évolution étonnante pour un 2008. Une certaine richesse avec les fruits (pruneaux) sur une texture agréable. Côté animal, un peu "viandé". Il manque peut-être une petite pointe d'acidité.... mais on ne va pas s'en formaliser.... on a ici un vin du pays d'Oc d'une race à part.
  ENSEMBLE: Je recommande..... cette cuvée Syrah/Mourvèdre/Grenache noir et Carignan
