93 Points | International Wine Cellar , January 2012

(80% grenache and 20% mourvedre):  Deep ruby.  Sexy blackberry and blackberry scents verge on liqueur-like, with bright mineral and spice notes providing energy.  Lush, creamy and smooth, with densely packed dark berry flavors lifted by a spicy nuance.  Supple tannins add shape to the very long, sweet, clinging finish.  Incidentally, the 2006 version of this wine is drinking wonderfully, based on a bottle that I tried in New York in December.  It is just hitting its plateau of maturity and will provide great pleasure for at least the next few years.
