Beau nez sans lourdeur pour un 90 pourcent de grenache : ca sent le cacao, les fruits rouges et noirs mais pas avec l’aspect confituré ; la garrigue, avec un petit coté orange sanguine. On s’attend à un vin ferme et serieux. Ca se confirme en bouche avec une texture puissante mais ferme, sans sucrosité ; je l’ai finalement trouvé plutôt tradi que moderne alors que j’avais lu que le style était plutôt moderne

Would agree with some of the comments below: great wine, still too young. Very strong chocolate, almost overpowering at first then settled down. Quite concentrated and took a while to open in the glass. Some meaty overtones so will be great in a few years as the primary ripeness dissipates somewhat.

I enjoyed this wine a lot. Some heat in the first hour but the wine improved after some time. Drank the wine over a period of 6 hours.
