Seamless bundles of fruit. Blackberry and violet. Brambly, transparent, polished. Like a light and elegant CDP. Fantastic finish. This is on point.

Quite tasty, dark fruit, spice and minerality. I would like to see how this ages.

"Elegant" and "polished" are not terms I ordinarily associate with Minervois. Clearly the work of a Burgundian. More funk, please, and more garrigue.

I think this wine has one special direction. Heavy, fruity, spicy, concentrated, and balanced among them, directed by carignan. Very special GS + Carignan with Cinsault. @880, wine plus, 180908

Very solid. Syrah based but brighter -
Think of a hybrid with a Sangiovese, and you're right on the money.

It surprised me a bit. Excellent mineral to fruit balance. Very enjoyable glass in the evening
