Nez de fruits noirs, un peu de cuir. En bouche, toujours cet équilibre et une finesse relative que l'on retrouve dans les vins de Richaud. Jamais excessif, plaisir pur.

Beginning to taste thru a number of "everyday" wines that need checking. Tasted this alongside the '00 Oratorie St Martin Cairanne Prestige. This offered more muscle, more density, more longevity. Like the St Martin, really liked the "cooler" grenache, no hint whatsoever of roasted elements. This still needs time. Say 3-4 before I touch another, and a good long life after that. One concern is the balance - decent amount of structure that I assume will integrate well, but keep an eye on it.

Tres belle bouteille. Matiere suave, encore une belle presence du fruit, elevage totalement fondu..une gourmandise. A boire 2008-2010
