This is a blend of Grenache Noir (15%) on limestone slopes, Syrah (45%) on limestone slopes and clayey soils and Carignan (40%) on sandy-clayey as sandstones. A powerful wine, with lovely aromas of currant, black fruit, plum, cigar box, and graphite. The palate has big fruit and tobacco with spice on the long finish. Overall this is a solid showing and over delivers for the price point. (Best 2014-2017) - August, 2014 (MD)
