Shop Review: 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre. 56 Ha grown organically since March 2009 (in conversion). 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: This wine was a bit confusing but interesting. The smell was of dark cherries and maybe some black currant or black raspberry's. It also had a bit of green leaf smell as well. The taste reminded me a bit of a dry Spanish wine and the tannins were also a bit harsh. I think the wine tasted like sour cherries and a bit like red warhead candy. I could taste a bit of a green pepper or general pepper taste in the finish.
I did not have this wine with any food.
