Blend of Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Syrah raised in tank. Enticing aromas of dark berry, blackberry, and black plum sprinkled with crushed stones and touches of garrigue and dried herb. The medium-full bodied palate is ripe with good fruit concentration and nicely balanced fruity-savoury-herbal flavours of dark berry, pepper spice, dried herb, and earthy notes. Refined, lightly structured tannins have a nice dusty textured character, while juicy acids are well-balanced. Some warmth on the mid-palate. Savoury, earthy mineral notes linger on the finish, with very good length. Tasted Sept/2020.

Herbs, and spice and lots of other nice. Complex Corbieres, meaty, cassis, fine tannin and a solid dry finish. Warmed my heart on a dismal October eve, which I suppose is the whole point. Tasted oct 2021.
