Bold, blackberry/bramble, mocha, fresh mint, blueberry pie. Extracted but balanced in terms of alcohol and tannin, with moderate acidity.

Drinks just like a Rhône actually. Light with a smooth body to it. Takes a more refined palate than mine probably but I like it.

Drinking great. Decanted for about an hour to let the heat blow off. Glad I found it at the back of the cellar

Interesting blend with counoise. Take the garrigue out of a Beaucastel and sweeten it up a little. Tannins still need to smooth and resolve, they aren't there yet. Not really my bag, baby.

Wow - light in color, but black cherry with cinnamon and nutmeg - a bit of barnyard on the nose. 2012 vintage - but seeing the notes may break into my 2013 allotment early...

Layers of red and black fruit. Great with food.

2012 Red fruited, silky texture, elegant. I could use a little more Mourvedre depth to be fully satisfied. Love the balance though. Oublie 24.

Bramble fruit, clove spice, garrigue. Takes a bit to open up up, but will reward.

Spicy, dark fruit with a lighter tannin structure than I would anticipate...still a nice mouthful...

nose of a northern Rhone - 44% mouv. 36 % Grenache the rest counoise - like a Châteauneuf-du-Pape but fruit forward ; lovely
