"This red shows grace and depth. Black cherry, plum, mineral and smoky aromas mingle harmoniously around well-integrated tannins, while vibrant acidity adds uprightness. Not extroverted, but all the pieces come together. Balanced, modern style". (Wine Spectator - December 2017)

Note and review by M. DIDIER P. Published on 28/10/2018
Good nose and correct palate. I didn't recognize the Mourvèdre and thought I'd come across a modern Grenache/Syrah blend, such as you often find in the southern Côtes du Rhône. No need to dwell on it for long, the finesse isn't there, nor is the length on the palate.

the exalted comments about this very heavy wine are unjustified

A pleasant surprise, a fine wine with good length and complexity. Drink at room temperature with a fine piece of meat. +++
