PnP. Definitely drinking young.
Dark purple color. Nose has modest OH, blackberry, and tar. Dark Chocolate and black cherry on the palate. Deep wine and could have better structure. Finish is medium.
Overall very solid, but not sure it’s as good as the 96pts. Wine Advocate scores it. — 6 years ago

Big round full bodied. Wonderful wine. Another 5-10 yrs of aging should make it even more spectacular. — 3 years ago
A beautifully balanced, intense evocation of South of France Syrah. Though the Delectable header doesn't show it this wine is from Chateau de l'Ou and is technically an IGP Côtes Catalanes. Think Northern Rhône on steroids - less minerality but more fruit - cassis, blackberry, mocha and exceptional depth. Very long finish as well and still a few years to grow. Stunning — 7 years ago

This is 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache from AOP Côtes du Roussillon. Label says Château L’ou, L’ou in bigger and bigger letters. Simple label. Dark as night color. Still opaque color. Has tar and licorice with the stewed plums on the nose. A bit of gravel on the end like all these southern France blends of Syrah and Grenache. Flavors are blackberry cobbler and wet stuff. Juicy. Big wine. Pretty classic southern stuff. In my wheelhouse. A great red. — a month ago
