Tasted against Rockford GSM 2008. This is lighter in colour but with a distinct Grenache flavour and nice smooth back palette. Flavour leaves you wanting more. Still tasting fresh - and a preference over the Rockford

A nice warm, spicy nose, but more restrained than many Rhones. It has a very classy feel. Exceedingly pleasant palate. It's much lighter than I'd expected, which increases the elegance. There's good red and black fruit with a nice pepper spice on the finish. A second bottle was substantially below par, though without an obvious fault, and had we not had the first bottle, we'd have probably just put it down as not a particularly brilliant wine. 86/100 A third bottle was much closer to the third, but still not quite as good. 91/100 maybe.
