Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:
50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre. 56 Ha grown organically since March 2009 (in conversion). Part of the vineyard is plowed with horses. Average age of the vines : 30 years old. Clear ruby wine with overtones of red berry fruits. Round and supple with smooth aftertaste. A good all round red wine for meat courses, poultry and light cheeses. Best drunk now while fresh with good keeping up to 4 years.
Personal Tasting Notes:
This
wine had a bouquet of strong cherries and also smelled like it would be a rather dry wine. The flavors I detected in this wine were the sweetish hints of blueberries and dark cherries. Also the wine was smooth with little linger on the palate however it did have a spicy finish. Contrary to the aroma which gave an indication of a very dry wine it was actually not terribly dry and was reasonably enjoyable.
This wine was tasted without food
