This is the sort of wine (a five grape blend; 30% Mourvedre, 25% Syrah, 25% Carignan, 16% Grenache, 4% Cinsault) that you either like or don't. This bottle showed rich garnet color, aromas of spice and chocolate. Flavors of cherry and earthiness with a long smooth finish. Thick mouth feel, very slight acidity and resolved tannins. Although this wine is supposed to be beyond its prime, it is drinking nicely and likely has at least several more good years.

17,5 /20 Coup de Coeur VISUEL: carmin moyen OLFACTIF: le terroir s'exprime déjà au nez. terre, animal, cuir. GUSTATIF: Gouleyant et racé, belle harmonie entre les notes de fruits et animales. ENSEMBLE: la structure est parfaire. Goûté à l'aveugle : je dis 1. France 2. Languedoc/Roussillon. Et Vlan !

this is unique, but I did not like it, the nose showed syrupy fruits, the palate seemed off-balanced on the acidic side, just all angles and not enough finesse, cheesy, pungent and robust, I do not think the bottle was off, I think the blend does not work, might be really nice with some strong cheese

Still drinking okay, but fading. Time to finish remaining bottles.
