Broad, rich, warm nose, a cocktail of aromas. Sweet and spicy at first without too much straining. Not desperately concentrated but well balanced. An easy sweet mouthful with just a hint of underripe tannins on the end. 16/20.

Dark purplish crimson. Some Syrah in evidence (40% of the blend, with Grenache). Refined, rather sophisticated, very appetising blend. Finishes a bit dry and suddenly. 16/20.
