Description from Vintage Cellar:
85 Points – Wine Enthusiast
A blend of 50% Grenache,
30% Syrah and 20% Carignan. Deep red garnet color with purple highlights.
Intense nose of morello cherry, tobacco and liquorice. Good structure on the
palate with lots of fruits and a long fruity and spicy finish. A true delight.
My Review: The color was reminiscent of blood, a creepy reddish brown. Mid tannins on the nose, with a mild taste that lingered. I detected bitter, almost metallic notes.
