It was a very good wine for the low price. I did not have the opportunity for a thorough tasting. Ämma and I tasted this at the wine expo in Linköping 2013.

Deep red colour. Nose of ripe dark cherries and blackcurrants, slightly flowery with violets, hints of tar and dried herbs. Medium body(+), rather good concentration of fruit with primarily ripe cherries, somewhat sweet and alcoholic attack, rather noticeable medium(+) tannins, a hint of bitterness, balancing acidity that provides some freshness. Rather tannic and slightly alcoholic aftertaste. 83 p. Quite OK for a Côtes-du-Rhône at its price level. Probably the character of the 2010 vintage contributes to making the wine fresher, but I had hoped for even a little more acidity and freshness to hide the alcohol better.

Myk og behagelig, lav syre. Litt sødme og krydder i smaken. Aroma av mørke bær, krydder og litt vanilje.
