Reviews
"Cinsault, Grenache noir, Mourvèdre, Syrah. Open sweet red fruit aromatics with some cherry and plum as well as a touch of pepper. Bright palate with a core of rounded, textured sweet cherry fruit, finishing with some grippy tannin. Lovely fruit here with real finesse. " [+]
"The wine has a ruby red color of medium intensity. The nose offers juiciness and freshness of red fruits
(red cherry, wild strawberry, red plum), a tangy side of black fruits (blackcurrant, morello cherry, black
plum), as well as a fine floral notes (violet, peony), herbaceous (bay leaf, thyme, fresh tobacco) and a
touch of leather. The palate is gourmand, juicy, with a delicate sweetness in its ripe fruit flavors (griotte,
wild strawberry, red chocolate cherry, blackberry, black plum). We also find notes of dark chocolate,
roasted thyme, dry bay leaf, as well as violet and peony. The tannins are tight and chocolatey, powerful,
but not astringent. The finish is juicy, airy and gourmand, quite persistent and tangy. We find the
powdery texture of tannins, touches of cocoa, blackcurrant in chocolate and tea leaf. A salivating acidity
brings freshness and structure. Gourmandise and tension." [+]
