87-89 Points | International Wine Cellar , January 2012

(65% grenache, 15% each of mourvedre and syrah and 5% cinsault):  Opaque purple.  Powerful aromas of cherry, blackberry and licorice, with a strong floral quality adding complexity.  Weighty bitter cherry and dark berry flavors coat the palate and pick up a touch of warmth on the back.  Shows some youthfully strict tannins on the finish, which leaves notes of licorice and cherry behind.
