Dark fruit, oak spices and some green notes of compost, leaves and herbs. A little murky (in a positive way). This wine was served blind next to 5 other bottles, and some taster(s) confidently picked it out as Bordeaux. Myself I found it to be slightly off compared to Bdx and the herbaceous notes, in combination with the oak and the general power of the wine, made me guess Chateauneuf-du-Pape. In hindsight I think my guess was pretty alright seeing as "garrigue" is shared between Provence and Southern Rhone. Although not my preferred wine per se, I can see how this really offers great QPR at around 20€ if you enjoy the style. Cab/Syrah blend.

Wow, this wine has developed so well over the last 2 year. Full bodied, great length! Close to it's peak I guess.
