  14/20 teinte orangée. Nez évanescent avec quelques notes d’évolution vers le tertiaire. En bouche, c’est droit, structuré, solide. Notes de bovril et viandées.L’ensembre est bien mais avec un manque de présence, de charme, de plaisir. Bof….

  Well done, earthy and a nice touch of funk, likely from Mourvedre, dry dark plum-berry fruit on palate with just enuf acid for good balance, another great XV value play here!

  Surprisingly light ruby color. Subtle nose with dark red fruit, iodine, and camphor. The relatively full body belies it’s appearance, and the velvety mouthfeel accompanies blueberry, plum, mineral, and herbal flavors. The tannins are present throughout, giving it structure, and last all the way through the 30 second+ finish. A very interesting and tasty wine that I suspect will benefit from another year or two in bottle. Excellent QPR for the quality.

  More medium bodied than full, however it was well balanced with fruit and tannins. It was ready to drink, need a little aeration but overall was pleasantly surprised. I could take some good fruit, like berries, black current and cherries, with mild spiciness. Will defiantly buy again or good restaurant buy. Excellent value for money.
