Cassis, cedar, herbal notes and tar in the nose. Medium to full bodied, dense and complex in the mouth: mature red berries, leather, liquorice, cinnamon, menthol, pine, with an ethereal finish. Excellent value for money at the time I bought this bottle. Sadly prices went up substantially since then, against which more recent vintages will be rated.

Blend of Mourvedre, Grenache and Syrah. Dark ruby red, lifted nose, mix of red and black fruits along with smoke, spice and licorice. Very nice red fruited juicy entry with raspberry, cherry and plenty of white pepper notes. It has nice long spicy finish and fine velvety tannins. This bottle is showing surprisingly well with freshness, balance and structure. Punch above its weight at this price point.

Cherry, cassis, cedar, herbal notes and tar in the nose. Medium to full bodied, dense and complex in the mouth: mature red berries, leather, liquorice, cinnamon, menthol, pine, with an etherial finish. Although this wine has lost a bit of its exuberance and concentration of earlier bottles it still provides a sensual drinking experience. Drink now and over the next 2 years

Impressive, multilayered. Cherry, cassis, cedar, herbal notes and tar in the nose. Medium to full bodied, dense and complex in the mouth: mature red berries, leather, liquorice, cinnamon, menthol, pine, with an etherial finish. Although this wine has lost a bit of its exuberant concentration of earlier bottles it still provides a sensual drinking experience. Drink now and over the next 2/3 years.
