Excellent value. Lots of dark fruits, smoke, anise and Violets. Layered and rich, but elegant as well. Was amazing w sausage pizza, but certainly would work w a lot more.

Stellar performance at this price point. Fab-o Tuesday night wine!

Good table wine to have with any dinner! Well balanced tannins, slightly acidic, dry & smooth balance.

2012. Shut down on the nose just like the previous two times. Decanting this time to see if it does open up on nose (and palate for that matter). Will update review tomorrow. A little more open day 2, still a restrained beast of a wine.

Really solid value made by the same winemakers as Beaucastel

Great with grilled t-bone. A little young, but not as green as other good wines I've had from the same region in the same price range. #58 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2012 Dark with purple undertones. On the nose, intense on notes of violet, black fruit and spices, black pepper and licorice. On the mouth, the wine is round, full-bodied, with huge finesse and elegant tannins. A very fresh wine.
