Was given this blind. Had olive notes so Syrah came to mind but it had a lot of Bordeaux character to it as well. I actually thought it may be some Mas des Daumas Gassac but this was so clean. Lovely wine.

Beautiful classic. Gamey notes gave way to sweetened juniper sprigs and hay. Acid was perfect and soft tannins with a relatively short finish.
