92 Points | International Wine Cellar , January 2012

(80% grenache, with mourvedre, syrah and cinsault):  Dark ruby.  Exotically perfumed, expressive scents of candied cherry, blackberry and spicecake, with notes of anise and rose adding complexity.  Shows deeper cassis and blueberry flavors on the palate, along with a zesty mineral quality.  Fine-grained tannins add shape and grip to the very long, sappy, focused finish.  This wine has gained vivacity since I saw it last year.
