  Delicious full-bodied GSM blend. Black berries and spicy.

  My wife liked this more than I did but I didn’t have any on the first night. By the second day it was pretty much gone so I am going to drink the rest that I have as soon as possible.
  Next bottle was pretty good. It was a little out of balance but not bad with leftovers.

  A blend of Grenache (65%), Syrah (31%) and Mourvèdre (4%). 14,5% alcohol, 3 g/l reidual sugar, 5 g/l acidity. Tasted blind in VV.
  
  Youthful and pretty translucent ruby red color with subtly blueish hue. Very ripe and sweet nose with aromas of raspberry marmalade, some overripe strawberry, a little bit of vanilla and a hint of milk chocolate. The wine is soft, sweet and flabby on the palate with unctuous flavors of strawberry-flavored soft serve ice cream, raspberry marmalade, some vanilla and a hint of mulled wine with christmas spices. The wine is lacking in structure with modest-to-medium acidity and very gentle and mellow tannins that offer very little texture and no grip to speak of. The finish is soft and flabby with sweet, almost jammy flavors of strawberries, raspberry marmalade, some vanilla, a little bit of strawberry ice cream and
  a hint of sweet, toasty oak spice.
  
  Ugh, nope. Among the wines tasted fully blind, this was definitely among the worst - just sweet, jammy and flabby with almost unpleasant crowdpleaser flavors and no structure to speak of. Although Châteauneuf-du-Papes can be somewhat jammy and a tad high in alcohol in their own right, this wine was an insult to its French GSM cousins. Rather repugnant stuff, a total rip-off at 17,99€.
