Dark purple with near black core. Violets and leather on the abundant nose. Confirmed on the full palate with black pepper, blackberries,and black earth. Dusty medium plus tannins assert fro entry. Juicy medium acidity cuts through despite all of that big stuff going on around it. Black fruit is there but something seems to pull back on its presence. Finish is lengthy and continues the palate adding a hint of menthol (probably the French oak). This "Big G" can give a lot of CdP a significant run for the money. The body and dark fruit (and price) call out for a hearty meal, but don't pass it by with a heady cheese and charcuterie plate. Drink now through 2037. — a month ago

Entry on this wine needs to acknowledge 23% Semillon in the blend. Great acid with lemon notes that turned into pink grapefruit. Bright and crisp — 2 years ago

Blend of about 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah and rest Mourvèdre, deep Ruby red color with aromas of red fruit flavors, spice and cedar. On the palate flavors of raspberry, tart cherry and plum with herb spice, cedar and pepper notes. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy oak. Nice! — 4 months ago

Always one of the sure values among Moroccan wines. Evocation of the Rhône-Nord, an ode to Syrah reminiscent of a Crozes or St Jo, under the vertical sun. Great consistency from the nose to the final. Requires at least two hours of ventilation. Floral, fruity, peppery etc. Even better the next day.

2017: Well-rated, very good CDP that features darker stewed fruit flavors and a good amount of port and earth nuances. While it suffers a typical CDP lack of acidity and vibrancy at this stage the fruit concentration makes this an above-average bottling and complements the growing complexity. Good value at $52 (VR). — 9 months ago
