Vintage Cellar Review:
50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre. 56 Ha grown organically since March 2009 (in conversation). 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.
My Review:
The aroma was clearly full of vegetables and almost a muddy quality. The taste was composed of some spice, acidic, and was full-bodied. However, the finish was smooth and surprisingly a little sweet.
I did not have any food while tasting this wine.
