Community Tasting Notes 2

  July 13, 2019 - Single piece cork, no seepage.
  Decanted for 120min.
  Dark crimson, purple inflections.
  
  I read a lot about this cuvee and i generally seek out carignan based wines from the south of france whenever available, as a change of pace from the grenache or syrah based wines in neighbouring regions.
  
  I also read the TNs on CT which were less than flattering. I generally agree this wine isn’t scaling the heights of its potential. It's got some slight sweetness and a bit of oak on the nose, and also a slight pyrazine (capsicum) aroma that was off putting. I didn’t find the wine unbalanced on the palate, but it was somewhat muted and boring to sip through.
  
  The wine was decanted 2 h prior and tasted over another 2h. Not much change, nor excitement. Overall well rounded palate, without any major flaw, but anonymous.
  
  I was expecting more personality from this wine, disappointing.
  Mrs Browne concurred.
  
  Approximate blend:
  50% carignan
  25% grenache
  15% syrah
  10% mourvedre
  
  Drink or hold, no upside expected.
  14% abv

  March 11, 2012 - La robe est profonde, presque couleur d'encre . Le nez est encore un peu sur la réserve, mais l'aération lui fait du bien (il a été meilleur le lendemain) et l'on peut alors découvrir un nez de fruits noirs murs (pruneau , cassis, mûre ) de légères notes chocolatées (fut neuf pour partie) et figue . La bouche est charnue et puissante, mais légèrement resserrée qui le rend un peu austère. Pas un grand plaisir... phase de fermeture ? 84
