  Shared with a friend over dinner. Finished later in the evening at home.
  
  LOVE the nose on this. Garrigue, potpourri, red licorice, cherry and sandalwood. On the palate a little more fruit driven with blackberry, sour cherry, white pepper, and dried leaves. Fine tannins linger a good 30 seconds in the mouth. Like the taste; LOVE the nose. Overall very enjoyable and pretty much a solid buy every year.

  30 minute decant. Nose of earthy cherry, rose petals, and a hint of spruce. Bright red cherry palate with sandalwood, cherry pit, red licorice, and loads of wet stones and a dollop of chamomile tea. Slate and graphite start the finish with tannins that are marble smooth, adding leather, red plum, and some citrus zest notes on the finale. Excellent.

  Drank with turkey, dressing, etc., along with a 2010 Brune et Blonde and a 2014 Tensley syrah. A little disappointing, but still my favorite of the bunch. A little thinner and lighter than I had anticipated/hoped, but the nose...cowabunga! All kinds of stuff going on - lavender, herbs, minerals, baconfat, and more. Pleasant fruitiness, but not over-the-top like the Tensley. Good (not great) finish. Everything I'd want, except for the light body and somewhat muted flavors.

  Perfect cork.
  Dark ruby color.
  Raspberry, blackberry, dill, and dryish sour tannins.
  The aroma is fantastic and uniquely amazing.
  It smells like Korean BBQ and lavender.
  Overall, the flavor is in your face and a little overbearing, and the aroma is a definite wow!
  If paired with the right food, this could be amazing. This would go great with anything from Southern France, Provençal wood roasted chicken is what I'm wanting to try this with...The French make wine that pairs with food, and this one is no exception.
