  Pop n pour at Bistro Vendôme, $60 on the list - horrific value. Dark ruby toward purple core. The nose is dominated by minerals, galets, raspberry and peppery spice. Medium bodied with lively acidity. This proved a solid, if somewhat simple, food wine. The fruitiness of the Grenache constantly weaves about, but a bit of a reductive quality holds the freshness back. Solid finish, grippy tannins. Honest value at approx $20, drink thru 2012.

  Deep red, fine nose of cool fruit, but also some noticable oak. Good fruit, but maybe a little overextracted. Fine tannins, but a bit dry in the finish

  Intensive Beerennase mit Vanillehintergrund. Auch am Gaumen rote Beeren, dann aber auch etwas gemüsig. Ziemlich viel Eiche und Vanille. Etwas süsslich und neumodisch, dank vielschichtiger Frucht aber sehr angenehm.
