Very nice Rhone blend. To me, it is dominated by Grenache, with perhaps some Syrah and Carignan? Subtle aromas (black olive, currant) followed by silky berry flavors. Glycerin texture is a real plus, as are the anise and olive notes in the aftertaste. Not lots of acidity, but a good food wine if you are using fennel or your dish is spicy (Mexican comes to mind...)

Klassisk Syd Rhone med grenache, syrah og mourvedre. Bouquet af let jordbær og sødme. Lidt kremet konsistens og typisk frugt og mørke bær i smagen. Meget krydret eftersmag. Kraftige tanniner og syre samt en høj alkoholprocent.
Bør ligge nogle år endnu. Smager blødere dagen efter.
Drukket til ratatouille.

Opened and poured this wine showed very well. It provides raspberry, mineral, earth, spice and black berry in a forward, youthful and accessible bouquet. The color is a medium to dark ruby. The medium bodied palate continues the theme of the bouquet with rich forward fruit and enough tannins to give the wine some grip. The palate shows good balance and a medium finish. This drinks well now and should benefit from an additional year or two of bottle age.

Bon vin sans prétention. Nez plaisant, bouche assez fruitée et avec une certaine "suavité" désormais. Longueur moyenne.
