Nose: Moderate. Some blackberry, slight medicinal notes, thyme and some tobacco. Taste: Mature, rounded, mellow, sweet and "warm" fruitiness with a spicy bite. Medium full bodied. Rounded, almost "polished" tannins. Fully mature and still very much alive, this shiraz-grenache blend is drinking very well now. Will probably last for another 1-3 years but I doubt that it will improve further or become more complex (on the other hand, so did I also conclude in 2008 and 2010...). So drink up now (or not...;) and enjoy!

Moden, søtlig frukt i duft og smak (et positivt preg av varme 2003?), samtidig bra friskhet og balanse. God vin. Moden, men holder (seg på topp) ett til to år til.

Farge: Tett dyprød. Duft: Krekling, tyttebær, touch av kamfer, etterhvert mer og mer medisinskap. Smak: Ganske moden, bløtt anslag, etterhvert en del tanniner, bra fruktsyre, varm. Moden nå.

(Château de Campuget Costières-de-Nîmes Tradition) Purple red color; grapey, plum, very peppery, black fruit nose; spicy black fruit palate, rather murky; medium finish

Plummy fruit is slightly drying, but the wine has held up well beyond any expectation and the palate is spicy and vibrant.
