Parker: Barruol’s negociant offerings, which are sold under the Saint-Cosme label, include the innovative non-vintage Little James Basket Press, a 100% Grenache vin de table from a solera system of Grenache sitting in tank ranging from the oldest vintage, 1999, to the newest, 2009. A wine that sells for a song, it exhibits terrific notes of kirsch and licorice-infused fruit, medium body, and an exuberant, ebullient personality. It is an ideal choice for bistros, brasseries or consumers looking for immediate gratification from a wine that over-delivers for its price. Enjoy it over the next year.

Nose of cloves, fig, smoke with black and red fruit juice. Also has a dry soil aroma which adds some hints of minerality. The attack consists of dark fruits, black cherry, black raspberry, dark chocolate and clove with a flavor of aged meats and wocestshire sauce. Medium finish and slightly disjointed and a little rough around the edges but a solid wine.
