St Cosme Vertical (@Lasse): Very lovely and refined raspberry fruit with a sweet touch. Beautiful freshness, minerality and elegance. Stunning wine.

In a good spot. Smooth, complex, spice, garrigue, local feel.

Nose offers wintergreen, ash, iron ore, blackberry jam, and a green onion herbaceous bite. Richly textured and still juicy with blackberries and black plums, green olive, wood ash and black peppercorn notes. Velvety tannins, but still rich, powerful and long, a wonderful pairing with crispy duck and blackberry gastrique, or with a smoked ham glazed with puréed black fruit, a splash of this vino, dark maple syrup and peppercorns. (hold the mustard). This will drink beautifully for another 15 years, but is perfect now.

Seductive aroma of ripe fruit and garigue. Black fruit, olive, herbs and a modest ferric undertone on the palate. Took a couple of hours in decanter and glass to fully show but well worth the wait. Superb.

Immensely pure vibrant and simply divine.
Some subtle spice, violets and almost Syrah like on nose.
The Grenache comes through on the pallet. Bramble, plum, super pure, like velvet.
Balanced and with great poise. Vin de garde.
