  This has to be as good as Corbieres gets.... Really lovely herby wine, with super length. Great stuff. Now and for a couple of years perhaps, but do not keep for too long - no point.

  A nice combination of dark and bright red fruit on the nose with just a hint of meatiness and dirt road. Nice depth in the nose, this smells really nice. Medium/light-bodied. Very composed on the palate, soft red fruits, a bit of tomato soup, then a nice hit of pomegranate as the nicely balanced acidity rises up as the wine is swallowed. Tannins come in late and are soft at this point. The more I am sipping this, there is a almost savory note on the palate that I am really enjoying, but can't really put to an individual flavor. The red fruit, pomegranate and even a bit of orange zest linger for a 5-7 second long finish. It doesn't stick around too long, but doesn't disappear on you. I like how this wine is drinking today, it's very enjoyable on it's own but is going to great with dinner, I can see this wine fitting in seamlessly with a meal of pasta or red meat. Drinking great now.
