Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Red and black fruits on the nose with cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco and chocolates.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, strawberries, spices and chocolates.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is a very tasty GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Elegant and nicely balanced. Tangy and interesting.
Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Already drinking nicely, even by itself as a sipping wine.
A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. Aged in large French oak barrels.
14% alcohol by volume.

This is generally regarded as the best example of Shiraz Viognier in Australia but recently I tried a 2015 Serrat Shiraz Viognier which was the equal of Clonakilla if not better. As per previous Delectable notes this bottle had the trademark dried spices, cloves a trace of pepper and dried meat. Barely medium weight and always a joy to drink. My last bottle. — 7 months ago
Used the Durand on the cork - soaked to the edge. Decanted for 2 hours.
This wine had some gaminess. Smooth. Fruit was a bit wild and overpowered by the savory flavors.
Paired well with the chicken skewers and onions. Needed complex flavors in the food to pair well.
Good but quite a bit below the Beaucastel — 8 months ago

Great length and finesse coupled with rasp and blueberries. Detect an aromatically "wet" quality maybe from cement aging. Perfect way to end the flight! Thank you Sophie :) — 12 years ago

Blend of 70% Grenache, 17% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah & 3% Cinsault, deep Ruby color with aromas of berry fruits, oak and floral spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with oak, herb spice and floral notes. Wine was complex and elegant with fine smooth tannins, long fruit and spicy finish. Very Nice! — 7 months ago

Powdery that turns to creamy and quickly leaves cherry with a nice dry finish. Dark in color and complex in taste. Slight brine with an astringent aftertaste — 5 months ago
