A day in Noizé (Noizé restaurant, London): Mid ruby. Quite dense in the decanter but lightening and thinning at the edges now. A half Grenache and approximately quarter each mourvèdre and syrah blend, this feels quite grenachey on the palate with some glycerine and a sense of aging on its acidity with and soft tannins now fully resolved. A little light on the front and the finish with the acidity slightly too evident. Still decent mid-palate development and interest, and without meaning it to be faint praise, a good food wine. ***

55% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah per the Brusset website.
Perfectly balanced, long, un-showy, utterly delicious. A great reminder of this classic style of wine making. No rush but a point drinking perfectly now.

Decanted for about 2 hours. Still really young and needed a lot of time. Nose is a fantasitc. Not a blockbuster but a really refined nose of plums and limestone. Great acid and a super finish.

Three and a half years on from my previous note - still very enjoyable, but perhaps now slightly past its best, hence a point less.

Very tasty sweet red cherry, earthy flavors. Drink up, at its peak maturity.
