Black in the glass with a clear meniscus. On nose, blood, black cherry, dried cherry and touch of earth. On palate, medium+ body, glycerin, sweet cherry, blackberry (brighter fruit than on nose) with medium acidity and long finish (tannins not noticeable).
nice bottle. 90+/-

From the label: 30% Grenache, 25% Carignan, 20% Mourvèdre, 15% Cinsault, 5% Syrah. Initially closed, almost reductive. Left in glass it opened up remarkably after 30 mins. A little disjointed but ok with wood-fired pizza.

Deep, semi-opaque purple. Oaky, meaty nose with a bit of red fruit. Clean and tangy, red currant and raspberry with a touched of smoked meat. Nice full mid-palate, good balance, long finish; really good - delicious. Day 2 update, more savory elements, tannins stronger, fruit has faced a bit. Slight metallic smell. Still nice and clean.

full bodied, cohesive, and extremely competitive at $20
ripe brambly blue fruit with rich garrigue and green herb notes. supporting hints of cranberry, chalk, and raisin. cool menthol.
juicy but integrated acidity with fine dusty tannin, and a savory bitter chocolate finish. fruit driven but by no means a fruit bomb.
