This wine
is a blend of mostly Grenache, at 85%, with Syrah at 10% and Mourvèdre at 5%
with alcohol coming in at 15%.
This wine
opened up with aromas of plumy-wild berry fruit, licorice, incense, toasty and
black pepper notes. On the mouthfeel, dry, medium-full bodied and smooth with
concentrated flavours, savoury, mild acidity and firm tannins. The finish is
medium length with flavours of black fruit, savoury herbs and spicy. This is exactly
what I expect from a nice Côtes du Rhône, easy drinking with great flavours,
and at this price, a great buy. Strongly recommended, score 89 points.
