Tasted blind. Blackish crimson. Rather oxidised nose and awkward palate. (JR)

The flagship, super-concentrated, garagiste-like effort from the huge Dourthe firm, this 2009 is made from their best generic fruit and given a lot of flashy oak and extract. The result is a wine that transcends its humble appellation. This big, deep, chewy wine will benefit from several more years of cellaring and keep for at least a decade.
