A basket of fruits in very subtle oak structure - works very well with red meat - incredible for such a price (in France)

Quite nice on day one, with ripe, stony Grenache character. Good ringer for Chateauneuf. Works well with spicy foods (Indian) because of the fine tannins. VGV.

Destocking at Monop: Overall past wines, too old. The risk is measured at less than €10, I buy. We taste: Dark tile dress. At the opening first disappointing nose (Nuoc Man, balsamic, past, tired). But after 1 hour it's something else: Fresh and peppery notes of wild strawberries are revealed. The nose is set up: balsamic notes, roasted, undergrowth, dried rose, candied fruits. The dress has revived, unfiltered style with a chewy depth, spicy deposit. A bit refreshed it will turn out to be very pleasant and fine.
Destockage chez Monop: Globalement des vins passés, trop vieux. Le risque est mesuré à moins de 10 €, j’achète. On goute: Robe tuile foncée. À l’ouverte premier nez décevant (Nuoc Man, balsamique passé, fatigué). Mais après 1h c’est autre chose:
des notes fraîches et poivrées de fraises de bois se révèlent. Le nez se met en place: notes balsamiques, torréfiées, sous-bois, rose séchée, fruits confits. La robe s’est ravivée, style non filtré avec un dépôt machu, épicé. Rafraîchi il se révélera très agréable et fin.
