My first time trying this last night and I was impressed. I believe this is Carignan, but this shows no heaviness like you sometimes get with red wines from hotter climates. Nicely balanced, and something that can probably last for another 5-10 years easy. We had this in a Burgundy glass which really accentuated the nose.

Another fine bottle. This one showed very bright raspberry and cherry notes at first, then fleshed out with an array of spice, herbal and floral flavours. My guess is that it will hold for a few more years before declining.

I cannot believe this is Rousillon villages. More on the border of northern and southern Rhône. Very serious juice

My last bottle from the 6 I bought in 2008. As all previous ones, this one presented a strong animal scent and was spoiled by brets. Never again Gauby
