  Robe encore bien jeune,d'un grenat toujours bien visible;bouquet typique de l'appellaton avec des arômes de garrigue,d'épices (thym,romarin),de fruits noirs (cerise,groseille).La bouche offre un palais aux tanins fondus,avec une trame très élégante,une ossature assouplie mais sans faille.Longueur finale moyenne.Vaut surtout pour sa suavité et son élégance et son absence de lourdeur souvent présente là-bas.Un bel échantillon.peut encore tenir 5 ans sans problème.

  - Ruby color - Jam, luscious, velvety and classic. Coats the glass and tongue with legs and smooth fruit. Not rich in tannins, but reminds me of the fruit in a fabulous pastry.

  Full bodied, plush, open and displaying ripe black cherries, kirsch liqueur, garrigue and spice in the nose, the wine is lush and carries it's ripe, old vine fruit intensity all the way through.

  Pretty over powering fruit at first. Needs to be decanted now. Softens up nicely after an hour.
