- "This offers layers of succulent fruit-blackberry, fig and plum-along with terroir-driven garrigue, mineral and tobacco notes. Long finish has solid grip, but is fresh enough to drink now. Quite impressive for the appellation—this drinks like a Châteauneuf. From 40-year-old vines, a blend of equal parts Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah...91." WS 7/06
