Last bottle of this vintage. Fully developed maybe this bottle was a even a bit past prime. The Grenache dominates but the Syrah is present also. Was great with a bean and sausage dish I made. Good value very enjoyable.

Dark purple color, ripe blackberry, violets, spice, herbs. Good acidity and well integrated tannins. This has great structure to age, but drinks really well now. Label says 14% and while it has ripe fruit, the alcohol is remarkably well integrated. Regretting that I only bought two bottles. Will hold the last one for several more years, but this is a really lovely wine now that will hold and perhaps improve for several years. No reason to rush on this, but it does drink beautifully now.

Robe : violine, légère traces d'évolution. De fines larmes se vont jour à l'agitation du verre Nez : Le thym, le laurier sauce, bouquet garni, puis viennent les épices. Avec le réchauffement on ressent des arômes de fraises. C'est tellement bon que l'on revient, puis y revient encore. En bouche : Les tanins sont fins, soutenus par une légère amertume. On trouve des épices, le laurier sauce. La persistance n'est pas en reste. C'est très bon et on prend beaucoup de plaisir. Très bien
