  70% Grenache, 15% Counoise and 15% Syrah. The first of my 2 bottles. Ruby red. Creamy with a slight bite on the finish. More earthy than fruity. A traditional CdP. Notes of oak, pepper and plum. Among the 3 CdP that we opened with dinner this fell in the middle. 90 points.

  Dark purple and semi opaque. The nose is rich, spicy with black pepper and gamy with bacon fat plus plum reduction. On the palate this wine is mature- rich plums, raspberry extract, gamy notes and earthiness. Slightly stewed prunes hint at the age of this wine. Bakers spice and super fine grained tannins highlight the midpalate but it's the flavor of dried mushrooms being reconstituted with a salty umami component that really carry the moment. The finish is rather short but l get sour cherry, raspberries and dark chocolate. This wine will appeal to lovers of mature old world wines that are earthy, loaded with terroir and have tones of tertiary flavors. For me- 89 points but drink sooner rather than later. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvedre, Muscardin and Counoise that runs $40 and gets 3 stars.

  Aromatic and fruit forward on the nose, but the palate was a bit too chewy and acidic for my palate. Surprisingly not thin (considering this is a 2011).
  Went well with food.
  Me - 89, Wife - 90
