At 11 years of age this wine is really impressive. 38% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache, 26% Syrah and 6% Cunoise it has wonderful complexity. Still a lot of red fruit - strawberry, red currant especially, a welcome tertiary note of leather and good acidity with very mellow silky tannins. Lovely bottle

January Wednesday Wine Committees are always a great as the red wines are required to be 11yrs old, making all of the reds 2008 vintage. 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine were served today, all blind. This was heavily oxidized on the glass. More brown than red. The wine itself seemed to be fine, but came across really tired. Didn’t get any black pepper here, nor spicy red fruit. Mainly clay, old cherry and some tobacco. I guessed burgundy.

Beautiful 10 year old magnum specimen. Dark and earthy soil-like aromas, like crushed and ripe plums. Medium to heavy body. Dark fruits mixed with cigar and soil. I get some great dark chocolate notes, nothing sweet of course. Brooding but not depressed, like a serious conversation with an old friend but some fun inside jokes to lighten it up. Could use more of this in my life.

Ruby red, with big orange rim. Tertiary nose of dried leaves, clove and a hint of caramel. Warm and spicy, good acidity, slightly dry tannin. A bit over the hill already. Disappointing. Drink quickly .2008 vintage. 40 euro.Abv. 14,5%.

In a nice spot, opening up again with lots of depth and complexity. Seems a little more roasted than I remember, but I suspect that's more about where my palate is lately than the wine...

Again no notes. What I did remember was red fruit and it lied between old and new world.

Reddish brown. High in alc. A bit syrupy. Black fruit. Up front but softens along the way. Ready now.
