  April 19, 2017 - PnP through Nuance Wine Finer. Dark purple. A little plum and some oak on the nose. Plummy, a little thin on the palate, but not overly ripe or heavy fruit or oak. Nice, easy drinker. 88 pts. Aloha!

  January 6, 2016 - Beautiful black currant with balsamic, oak and spice elements, cherry, plum and brown sugar.
  
  A delicious wine that's got well integrated flavours and more-open structure.

  November 15, 2014 - Decanted for a few hours. Extremely enjoyable and teeming with complexity, a very enjoyable Syrah that is high on beautiful ripe fruit. Could be kept a few more years.

  November 17, 2013 - Rather good. Have had the 2010: i think this is better. Decanted and drunk. Thick and remarkably luscious. Lovely high aromatic notes with a spicy finish. Long. Tremendous value.

  May 13, 2013 - Het succesverhaal van de vorige 2 rondes, ook toen schreven wij: Mooier dan wijngoeroe Robert Parker 90/100
  kunnen wij het niet omschrijven: “Durand's Chateau La Bastide 2009 Corbieres (the term Chateau is evidently only
  permissible for wines of appellation controlee status) represents a cuvee of Syrah with a bit of Grenache, matured in aged
  barrique. Scents of cassis and dark cherry are tinged with salted caramel and high-toned evocations of kirsch and herbal
  liqueur. Polished and lush yet satisfyingly juicy, this picks up counterpoint and further complexity by way of piquant cherry
  pit, mint, fennel, and coniferous scrub. A satisfyingly sustained, bittersweet finish primes your salivary glands and
  imagination for the next sip.Savor - and shake your head over - this incredible value for the next 3-4 years.” De 2011 doet
  wederom niet onder voor de 2009 en 2010 en haalde dan ook glansrijk de lijst. Overheerlijke kruidige Syrah-Grenache combi
  die het schitterend doet bij een Provençaalse keuken.
