Dark violet. Loaded with dense dark fruit (blackberry, currants), violets and toasty vanilla. Well structured, elegant (with comparatively low 13,5% alc.) and very harmonious. Lingering, spicy finish. Will easily hold for at least 5 more years.
My favorite in a tasting with two other excellent wines from the same region, a '10 Domaine des Masques Syrahdictive and a '07 Chateau Henri Bonnaud Rouge du Chateau.

Needs a couple of hours in the decanter to wake up then a nice nose of blackcurrant and a little oak. Good cassis and bramble flavour. Youthful but good now.
