Lovely wine! Jamie H was right when he said he thought this would age brilliantly. Really balanced, beautiful, enjoyable. And its Bordeaux linkage is apparent, with some Corbieres wildness. What great wine! Terrific. The winemaker suggests I shouldn't keep it all that much longer, and I see no need to. But it's lovely wine. Refined, and with soul.

(Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre & Carignan) Nose: Dark forest berries, black pepper, a hint of leather. (88p) Sweet, ripe dark plum and dark berry fruitiness. Also here traces of black pepper and leather. Medium rich body. Nice, rounded tannins. Medium long aftertaste. (86p) Fully mature and drinking perfectly now (drink 2012-2019). Total score 87 points.

Very ripe and fruity. A hallmark of the region. Ready to drink now and will be better at least for another 3 years.

A gift. A surprise. Lovely. Smoky. A merlot from Languedoc?
