This wine is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and
Cinsault with alcohol coming in at 14.5%. This blend opened up with aromas of
blackberry, stewed plums, dried herbs and leathery notes. On the mouthfeel,
medium-full bodied, little fruit, dried, firm structured with low acidity and
dusty tannins. Medium length on the finish, earthy, smoky and spices flavours,
dusty tannins and alcohol heat making its presence felt till the end. For me
this is not one of their finest wines, from Château Du Trignon that I have had,
a little unbalanced for me. This wine
needed a little more acidity and a whole lot more fruit, but the aromatics were
very sensuous. Score 88 points.
