Did not taste this bottle until it had been open for a while. Great nose - dark fruits, blackberries, spice. The most noticable thing on the palate to me was the garrique. It has this great herbal underbrush component. Make me feel like I'm in the south of France!

Delicious! Great balance of fruit and tannin. Made for food, but drinkable on its own. My favorite sort of red.

Riper than I expect for a Rhone valley wine. Completely delicious, still with tannins. Would not hold this over long.

Somehow this is a warm and comforting wine. Soft red fruit - can taste and feel the chocolate. Begs for cassoulet or something like it.
