Of the older wines I have been pulling from my collection this is one of the real stars! Plump and sexy with aromas of blackberry jam, white pepper, toast and Asian spices. On the palate the richness of the tannins harmonizes with the finesse of the acidity. Black cherry , ripe blackberry, black currant, plum compote and sage finish with finish that lingers like the crack of a whip. It leaves a lasting impression!

All the flavors I like. Rock and stone and hot white pepper when I roll it on the tongue. Some pronounced dark berries come out at some points. Smoked herbs take over before a surprisingly extracted finish. Complex. Good value.

What a great bargain in southern Rhône! Very typical flavors for a GSM. Excellent.

Garrique. Spectacular . Herbaceous with plenty of smoke and dark fruit. Complex and lingering

Nice vac as a warm up for roast haunch of venison - oak influence not overdone and decent fruit with a bit of bottle age
