| Tasted by d'Artagnan on 4/6/2009 & rated 86 points: On the nose, black fruit, black pepper, some toffee. A bit rough on the attack with lots of concentration but rather hard tannins. The mouthfeel is pleasant at first, there is copious lush fruit, however the finish shows heat and rough tannins, a certain lack of balance. My impression is so different from David Schildknecht’s (who wrote «absence of heat ») that I am questioning whether I had a representative bottle. 86-88 pts at most, a far cry from David’s impression. Nez de fruit noir, de poivre, un peu de torréfaction, de caramel. Attaque concentrée et assez tannique, le vin est un peu renfrogné, besoin d’aération. La texture est agréable, le fruit gourmand, mais il y a beaucoup de tanins et d’alcool¸ laissant une impression dissociée, du moins à ce stade. J’ignore si le temps arrangera les choses mais il est permis d’en douter. Mon impression est tellement différente de celle de David Schildknecht (qui écrit «absence of heat ») que je me demande s’il s’agit des effets d’une bouteille v.e.s., sachant qu’il est disponible depuis env. 1 an.

| Tasted by jdunnuck on 1/11/2009 & rated 94 points: Why hello beautiful... this bottle was served double blind and I thought is was a 2005 Janasse VV at first due to its amazing richness, southern Rhone typicity and barrique aromas. The blend is 50% Syrah, 35% Grenache and 15% Mourvedre and the wine sees half in new barriques. On the nose this shows serious, massive cassis and blackberry fruit, melted licorice, raw meat and graphite notes that just keep coming and there's real ripeness and fruit intensity here.. This leads into a full bodied palate that's balanced, concentrated and possesses a creamy, silky texture that carries into a medium to long finish. A wow wine and now I just need to find out where I can get some of this. (858 views) | |

| Tasted by BigNightOut on 4/16/2008 & rated 88 points: Different and more old world than new for sure. Reminded me a bit of mulled wine. Some cloves and cinnamon, with a black olive thing. All other flavors were seondary to one dominant nose and flavor. OK with goat cheeses, salad and dinner, but the shocker was how this wine excelled with dark chocolate with cacao nibs. A completely unexpected, but welcome pairing. It removed the rustic flavors and intensified the fruit aspects (red cherry) - interesting. This bumped my score up a point. Very acidic, slightly tannic. (1051 views) | |
| Tasted by duffer8008 on 12/6/2007 & rated 93 points: Same notes as before, but we drank it a little colder than we should have. Took a little while to open up, but it really is a great bottle of wine. (1237 views) | |

| Tasted by msherwin on 11/24/2007 & rated 89 points: Opened up nicely after a little bit. A little tanny/spicy on the end. (1234 views) | |
| Tasted by duffer8008 on 11/21/2007 & rated 93 points: Very nice bottle of wine. Beautiful lavender, strawberries and a floral component on the nose. Nice lush complex mouthfeel with a ton of strawberries and flowers on the palate. This wine is drinking very well right now, but in a couple of years I think this wine could be a 94+ wine.
