Time in my cellar for 9 years has been good to this wine. Carignan predominates and adds to the complexity of this delightful wine, both on the nose and palate.Very dark fruit, faint spiciness. Long finish. Great with both a rustic pot roast and a rare Prime sirloin. Wish I had more or could find it.

Happy Hour at Cru (Cru Wine Bar, Denver, Colorado): Dark fruit on the nose with warm spices, some meatiness and ripe cherries. Caramel, warm chocolate, plums, and cassis on the palate. Finish was barely there....

Very lush, dark fruit color. Hints of smoke and flint, backed by deep stone fruit flavors. Long finish, with medium alcohol and light tannins. The Carignan is very rich. If you love complex Rhone blends, this is for you.

Perhaps it is past its prime. No bright fruit. Tastes a bit cooked.

Drank last night and glad I waited a few years. Excellent wine that went well with a pork ragu.
