Bright ruby red in colour. Red fruits (strawberriers? but more), still presenting fresh and vibrant. To taste this wine is slightly spicy and savory with a juicy fruity almost sweetish finish. Tannins still present and welcome food (confit duck in this instance). You can tell its from a hot year, but overal a nice enjoyable drop.

Decanted 2 hours; slight deposit. Purple/red. Loganberry on the nose (50% grenache) so it was a surprise to get such pepperiness of the syrah (?25%) on the palate with sufficiently astringent tannins to promise further development in bottle.

Nez de fruit rouge plutôt compoté. Puissant, belle attaque sur les fruits rouges mais il y a vite un creu en milieu de bouche et la finale est sur l'alcool. Manque cruellement de fraicheur, pire qu'il y a deux ans. Très décevant à ce prix et une autre confirmation que peu ont réussi leurs 2003 en Languedoc. 80 pts

Still excellent, but needs to be drunk up soon
