  March 7, 2020 - Very nice to drink now, but still a few years of life ahead. Raspberry, plum and earthy aromas, polished tannins and a balancing acidity make this a nicely drinkable wine right now.

  November 25, 2011 - The entry level wine of the Mas Doix estate (second vintage) with a varietal composition of 80 % Garnatxa, 10 % Carinyena and 10 % Syrah, aged for 10 months in French barriques. Decanted: one hour prior to tasting. Concentrated ruby-red in color and a lush bouquet of blue and red berry fruit, cedar, clove and a hint of oak. The palate shows an already accessible wine, with dense concentrated black fruit, Mediterranean herbs, quite smooth tannins, but the alcohol is a bit too dominant at present. Good finish with a touch of heat at the end. An agreeable, well-made wine but it lacks a bit the punch of the previous vintage. Drink it now through 2015.
  
  De instapwijn van het domein’ Mas Doix’ (tweede jaargang) met een samenstelling van 80% Garnatxa, 10% Carinyena en 10% Syrah. Rijping: 10 maanden op Franse barriques. Gedecanteerd: één uur voor consumptie. Geconcentreerde robijnrode kleur en een weelderig boeket van blauw en rood bessenfruit, cederhout, kruidnagel en een vleugje eik. Stoere maar al heel toegankelijke wijn, vol geconcentreerd zwart fruit, mediterrane kruiden, en al behoorlijk zachte tannines, doch de alcohol is op dit ogenblik nog vrij dominant. Goede afdronk met wat ‘gestoofde’ elementen’. Een aangename, degelijke wijn, maar hij mist een beetje de punch van de vorige jaargang. Te drinken: nu tot in 2015.

  October 29, 2011 - Nice ruby red, nose of red fruits, vanilla and oak. Nice flavors of red fruits with medium body with a nice balance of acidity and tannins. Nice short-medium finish. Good QPR.

  September 30, 2011 - Medium bodied, deep core with vivid edging and transparent rim. The nose leaps from the glass, lots of vanilla and spice, plum pudding and custard !
  Fully ripe fruit gives this a lovely sweet palate, the tannins are fine grained, the finish is focussed through the centre of the palate and long, decent acidity, satisfying, but give this an hour decanted first
