Really excellent. Perfect blend. Fruity where you want it and rich in flavor. Complex and fun.

Herbs, roasted fruit, licorice, menthol and vanilla on the nose. Cherry, kinda prune, dried herbs, fruit compote and fennel on the palate. Young wine, needs time.

Wow, this was a nice surprise! Fruity bouquet on opening that lasted till the last sip and a very smooth blend of 43% Grenache, 41% Syrah, 9% Mourvèdre, 4% Counoise and 3% Cinsault in the 2012 Vintage that is now singing. Left wanting more when bottle was gone.

Very good and typical syrah. A lot of tasty fruit on the palette, slightly dry and lingering finish. Smooth, not unique
