Another great wine from Michel Chapoutier, that is a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan. This wine opened up with complex aromas of blackberry, sour cherry, underbrush, dried sage, saddle leather, smoky and peppery notes. On the mouthfeel, medium-full bodied (alcohol comes in at 14.5%), the texture is slightly rustic with flavors of black fruit, meaty and peppery notes and fine grainy tannins. The finish is medium length with excellent depth of flavors. These days so many wines seem to all taste the same, for me this red blend has a real sense of place, very interesting and strongly recommended. Score 90 points.
