Notes : Robert Parker 91/100
"A wonderful bargain!" (Robert Parker). This 100% Mourvèdre is impressively fruity, with explosively fresh aromas and lovely tension. The acidity is perfect, balancing the wine while accompanying the very pleasant tannins, the house signature. A gourmet wine with real pleasure on the palate!

A magnificent Mourvèdre to be drunk young. Caution: does not age as well as its Bandol cousin.

A heavy, powerful wine to be decanted for an hour ...

A decent wine, but still a little young for my taste. Probably worth waiting another 2 years. In comparison, rather behind a castano monatrell... To be continued

Note and review by M. PIERRE AXEL S. Published on 04/12/2013
This wine is not easy to appreciate, as it is heavy and cruelly lacking in finesse, dominated by spices. After the 4th bottle, I managed to appreciate it by decanting it more than 4 hours before tasting it. It's much better, with length on the palate, but it's still massive! and too woody. This is the kind of wine Mr. Parker loves!

Excellent value for money. Concentrated, fruity, mineral. I've never been disappointed by wines from this bodega.

Note and review by M. CLAUDE G. Published on 03/03/2013
excellent! but drink at a temperature not exceeding 15°. Otherwise, the wine's alcohol content will make it difficult to drink. Just an indication for those who have the bad habit of "chambering" their wine!

A truly astonishing wine. Very fruity, round, a little high in alcohol but well structured, and at less than 10 euros. A real treat!

A supple, modern wine, pleasant on the nose as well as on the palate, to be drunk young with duck paté with raspberries.
