Used for cooking, but a glass to taste came across well — nicely Grenache, but there is a twang of coarser carignan on the finish that rather detracts from the cool Grenache. Still. Decent *** quality.

A bit more animal, sweaty, spicy, smoky with notes of dark cherries, plums. On the palate quite grippy, mineral, fresh and fairly tight. Great depth and length. Spicy finish. Keep - this should develop nicely. 92-93+

nose is a little bit funky, there's a note of rosemary and some dark fruit Smell very carignan Tannic and a little bit pooey on the palate with herbs and a leathery finish Wild and rustic. Won't be to everyone's taste

Quick double decant about 30mins ahead of drinking. Deep ruby with a touch of purple. Smooth, dark red fruit with a touch of blue, good structure. Cool, a pinch of pepper and enough interest. No great complexity, but very serviceable. ***

plum, cherry, lean for rhone varietals, and incredibly elegant. There's a hint of funk, but overall a really well put together wine.
