Pretty, rich dark fruits. Blueberry pie, bramble berry, maybe a touch stewed plums. Classic Rhone garrigue... Violets, wet stone, a unique soapy floral note. Palate reveals fresh red cherry, blueberry, raspberry and blackberry - this is like a farmers market berry stand. Layered with a touch of almound pastry. Clean finish with minerality and herbs. So solid and a great QPR from a classic producer. — 14 hours ago
2006 vintage. Yo ho yo ho mateys! Not the greatest SoRhô vintage but a fairly decent producer aboard. Overt fruit influence gonzo. Dark and dense with plenty of years on the plank. Spicy finish with a solid dose of tannins afoot. Bigger body than anticipated. Definitely not a lean machine at this point and closer to medium-hevvy bod. Think Deep Purple In Rock vs Machine Head. If you know, you know. Hope that helped. Maybe not. Regardless, phenomenal juice and worth a visit/voyage down the ole heavy metal pipeline. Watch out for those Jon Lord organ interludes.

Raspberry and cherry fruit, with tea and stony minerality and a saline note on the finish. Floral wine with deep fruit flavors and mineral driven. — 3 days ago
Blend of about 2/3 Grenache, with Syrah, Mourvèdre, and a mix of permitted varieties. Medium Ruby with aromas of ripe black fruits and earthy pepper spice. On the palate complex rich flavors of cherry and blackberry, with oak, leather, cacao and earthy spice. Full body, well balanced, fine tannins, long finish, perfect now but will continue to age. Outstanding! — a month ago

So young & very closed upon opening.
After 6h breathing this opens up, showing dusty blue & red fruit, fresh, juicy. But there’s also fresh herbs, Lavendel, pomegranate freshness and a pinch of orange peel spiciness. There’s also some mocha, dark chocolate. So enticing!
Amazing freshness & poise on the palate , tannins so polished & juicy, fresh & with great flow. But the depth & precision here are amazing! Wow! This is stunning. So complex & sophisticated but so drinkable at the same time.
What a wine! — 2 days ago
