  Attractively rich without being too glossy, with some spice to liven things up, but the wine lacked definition or excitement. Solid accompaniment to Middle Eastern food.

  Drank at home
  The wine is a blend of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre.
  The wine shows youthful bright ruby colour
  The wine shows medium intensity in the nose, ripe fresh black fruit core, beautiful floral notes at first, then a few oak and gamey notes.
  The wine shows medium intensity in the palate, heat from the 14.5% alcohol, ripe black fruits, the oak is a bit more upfront, low acidity and medium finish. The wine is very fresh and youthful in character, but resist the temptation to drink it all at once and you get a few nice herbal (minty and eucaluptus) notes which is rather interesting. Great value for price.
