89/100 There’s a sense of richness to the well-spiced flavors of ripe cherry and dried blueberry. Chocolate mousse notes linger on the minerally finish, alongside hints of black olive. Drink now through 2017.

14,5/20 Voici certainement l’un des languedocs les plus structurés, denses mais frais, bien dans l’esprit de 2010. Ce rouge a un potentiel de garde certain. 2012 à 2017.
15,5/20 Syrah, Grenache and Carignan. Glowing ruby. Quite charred on the nose with a tinge of hot plum. Lots of tannins to grapple with, and black pepper, some sappy fruit. Very drying finish. Needs food.(TC)
