  I'd had this wine a few years ago, and it was rough and not very well integrated. Decided to give it a rest. The bottle last night, sadly, hadn't improved at all from what I remember. On opening, it wasn't good on its own. We had some spicy (green chili) pizza and it was an adequate accompaniment. Someone earlier noted that it worked with spices. I totally agree. In general I really enjoy Languedoc wines, but this one just didn't have either the fruit (too old?) or evolved tannins to make it an enjoyable bottle.

  Deep red with cherries right on the front. Smells a little bit like brandy after 5-10 mins open.
  I'm struck with a beginning of tart cherries. A little bit of barnyard, some pencil shavings with undertones of vanilla and brown sugar. I'm going to have to agree with previous reviewers on the watery finish, but all in all, there're some bold flavors before it, so this might not be entirely bad. Odd how quick the dissipation is though.
  Not an a bad wine at all, and probably worth the $10 I paid for it.

  While I enjoyed the complexity of black fruits, stones, pepper, licorice and barnyard, the finish seemed watery and quite short. A lot going on here, but the depth is not there.

  Worthy wine for the price. Gringo...get your head screwed on straight. Roussillon is not in Burgundy. Take a big leap and learn to use Google search and Google maps!
