  I thought this to be a nicely balanced wine with good body, tannins and low in acidity.

  This is better than it has any right to be. I usually don't even comment on CdRs. This one gets high points for a perfectly balanced package that delivers concentrated fruit, clean, tinged with garrigue, a little meat and olive from the Syrah and Mouvedre, and an acid spine to hold up to rich food.
  The notes on the label indicate some oak ageing, which is not noticeable at all, and the 14% ABV does not stand out either.
  It is probably at it's prime right now, and well stored bottles will last a while.

  Surprisingly, this got deliciously funky after 25 minutes, and it made for an even more unexpectedly good pairing with salmon thus.
