Old world, so needs food! But with food, complements it very well...beef, lamb, red meats in general. Excellent value for around $25. This was a 2012. 2009 is superior. — 10 years ago

Enjoyed this Châteauneuf like wine, well balanced with a long spicy finish. — 12 years ago
Color: dense plum falls off fairly abruptly to a rim of brick. Real decent legs but not crazy.
Nose: lots going on here. Dust. Baked fruit. A little citrus. Reminds me of a baked cobbler. A mix of sweet Mediterranean spices. I distinctly get slow-braised lamb in caramelized onions.
Taste:
Tannins are very soft but certainly present. Medium-to-heavy body, little sweetness, for sure on the drier side. Jam, prunes, dark berries. Finish is a bit funky, like a camembert. Overall impression is a cool but bold well-balanced and nuanced wine. — 10 years ago
