October 28, 2011 - Intensive fruit flavor yet perhaps not the most elegant wine this evening. But who am i trying to kid here, this is straight up my alley. Full throttle grenache fruit with some heat, ideal for friday sausages!

September 17, 2011 - Lovely jammy grenache notes of raspberry coulis upfront, but also a lot of cassis/currants which were slightly dominant. Fresh wine, not the least heavy or hot though it comes loaded with 15%. A funny, friendly companion after dinner with some dark chocolate. One bottle left, that's just enough.

September 17, 2011 - Salty licorice, raspberries and heady Grenache fruit dominates. Even though it is a 2008 it seems to have been grown under intense heat, best served sligtly under normal temperatue. Still great wine and really good QPR.

August 26, 2011 - Delicious jammy grenache nose of strawberries and raspberries. Smooth sweet-fruity candy taste with an obvious presence of residual sweetness (maybe 8-10 grams). Good acid freshness and no heat at all from the 15%. Quite a crazy and controversial wine - halfway to Banyuls - but it should fit in well with chocolate or cheese. A charmer! Bound to seduce fans of grenache. Made of ecologically grown grapes (Ecocert).
